God has gifted us with this beautiful human life. We are fortunate enough to enjoy this beautiful gift. But few are not lucky enough. They are suffering from some major ailment or the other. We as human beings can help them in their sufferings after our chapter of life is over. Rightly understood, I am talking about organ donation.
Organ donation is the need of today’s upcoming world. Organ donation is referred to as donating crucial organs like the heart, kidney, liver, pancreas, etc. of a clinically dead person to one who requires it for his/her survival. We as sensible human beings should pledge our organs after death for the betterment of others. This is a beautiful gesture of giving life to someone after your life.
FEW TIPS ABOUT ORGAN DONATION TO CLEAR EVERYONE DOUBTS
- A person of any age is legitimate for organ donation in this world if his/her medical suitability allows. A minor person’s organ can be donated on approval by a guardian or parent of the child.
- A person suffering from diseases like HIV, hepatitis, cancer, and heart disease cannot pledge for organ donation.
- Most of the crucial organs (heart, lung, pancreas) donations are made when the donor is declared brain dead. But in few organs and tissues (bone marrow, tissues, and one kidney) can be donated even when the donor is alive.
- No cost of transplant is borne by the donor’s family. All expenditure after the brain dead declaration is borne by the government and recipient family.
- The body of the donor is stitched by medical professionals and returned in the same way for last rites to the donor family.
- Anyone 18 years of age can register them for organ donation. They receive a card from a donation agency.
Thousands of people die in the world due to a lack of organ donors. A single deceased donor can be the reason for eight new heartbeats or survival. Let’s celebrate world organ donation by pledging our organs for donation. Become a reason for someone’s life support after your life.
