Organ Donation: A Necessary Social Obligation?

One success of medicine has been to change the death of a human being for the life of a patient with terminal organ failure when organs such as the liver or lung are donated. These results of organ surgery and treatments, nevertheless, are accompanied by the maintenance of patients waiting lists, and deaths. Educational programs have made advances in popular knowledge. However, the data shows that society’s undefined attitude toward donation impacts the “organ shortage”. For example, the value of the slogan that qualifies donating as a gift is controversial today. Organ shortage requires an analysis of its persistence, as well as suggestions for its solution.
