| Make organ donation compulsory Make organ donation on death compulsory. You save more lives.
First point. From a purely economical point of view, its a horrible waste letting a dead person's body rot away in a grave, complete with organs that could be used for someone who still needs them.
Secondly, it is an altruistic gesture (in a sense), since through your death, you are helping other people live or enjoy a better quality of life.
I think we should start pulling away from old-fashioned ideologies and stubborn insistence on things such as rights (should dead people have rights in that sense?!) and realise that it would be a massive help to the health system. |
