I am going to start by telling you about the pressing need for organ donors. You may be asking, what is organ donation and transplantation? It is the taking of organs or tissues from one human being, the donor, and putting them into another person’s body, the recipient. Thousand and thousands of people all over the country are waiting for an organ transplant. ... The problem is that there are not enough organs and organ donors to fill the need for transplants. In an interview on Newshour with Jim Lehrer, Susan Dentzer reports that nearly 23,000 organ transplants were performed last year, however the need is far greater. Today many organs can be successfully transplanted. ... One organ donor, that’s one of us can save up to 50 people, quoted from WHYY Newshour with Jim Lehrer. ...
