Above you will see a link to the Slate Article that I chose to do my Blog on this week. It is on organ donation and how some people are scared to be organ donors. They feel that if they are organ donors and something tragic happens to them, then the emergency personnel will not give them the appropriate care so their organs can be harvested for someone else.
I can see where this is a concern for people, but I totally agree in organ donation. There are so many people who benefit from this, adults and children, that I can not see how people chose not to donate. I understand that it is a personal opinion and that some people have legitimate reasons for not being organ donors, but when I am dead and gone they can distribute me to anyone who needs me!
Being an organ donor, this thought has crossed my mind many times. I do feel as though maybe if I was in a horrible accident and am on the brink of death the emergency personnel will see that I'm an organ donor and give up on trying to save me. It's just a little paranoia, that's all.
