Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer maintains that cultivating organ donor awareness could be one of the most illustrious ways of sharing the gift of life. Thanks to the major surgical advances during the past decade, organ transplantation is no longer an experimental procedure. The writer discusses that while the number of transplants needed each year continues to rise, the number of organs recovered for transplantation remains the same. The writer maintains that the proposal discussed will assist in educating the participants about tissue and organ donorship, establishing an understanding for the need, ease and goal of organ and tissue donations. The writer notes that by taking the organ and tissue donation quiz, reading the accompanying pamphlets and listening to the guest spokesperson, the community will be able to identify at least three ways of how to sign up and give someone a second chance at life.

From the Paper:

"The third measurable goal of this presentation is to educate people on how to obtain a donor card and let your wishes be upheld by family, friends and hospital personnel. As we have established, this may be a sensitive topic for certain people who are not comfortable talking about death and life, and therefore awareness to the community's specific needs should be displayed. For example, having a private conversation to help allay any anxiety would be an appropriate intervention. The community will also receive information kits that include organ and tissue donation brochures, organ donation pins, sign-up workplace partnership sheets for life organ donation, and list of available resources and web sites for further information."
