Could myths be the reason why we don't donate organs? Please don't let
these myths confuse you and discourage you from saving someone's life.
There's enough people to populate a small city (over 113,041) waiting on
organ donations in the United States. It is very unfortunate that
thousands never get the call saying that a suitable donor organ is ready
for them and a second chance at life has been given. It's a horrible
feeling to know that you're life could end at any time and there is
nothing you can do about it.
I think people are afraid to donate because of the lack of information
they may have. Maybe people want to help but are afraid because of
myths. One might find it hard to think about what's going to happen to
their bodies after they die, let alone donating their organs and tissues
while living. Think about it, having two kidneys is a luxury. Your body
only needs one kidney to carry out a productive and beautiful life.
Being an organ donor is a generous and worthwhile decision you can make
to become a lifesaver. You know Jesus Christ did it; he died on the
cross to save our lives. He could have jumped down and said “forget it"
but Jesus stayed on that cross or tree, took those beatings and gave up
his life for you and me. Now that's not what's being asked of you. The
question being asked of you is to give a second chance at life to
someone that needs it not give up your life.
Understanding organ donation can make you feel better about your
choices. If you’ve delayed your decision to be a donor because of
possible misinformation please ask questions, reach out and talk to
people who have saved lives by donating organs.
Thanks for shedding light on some of the misunderstanding about donating organs we as people have. Please continue to post helpful information about donating.
