Speech on Organ Donation

Good morning good people my name is Grace Leach am here to talk about organ donation. Having received the first experience on the importance of organ donation am here to show you how vital organ donation can be. My young girl has been one of the victims that have benefitted to this idea. Her life was saved due to organ donation. Having received someone to donate for my child, luckily my daughter is today alive. The system in France has made it be the world number one country that saves its population through transplants. The society that we live in need to change their perspective on organ donation and shift their minds to the opt-out system. Moving from the current system had been met with opposition due to lack of exposure and awareness surrounding the issue.

Good people, what will happen if you donate your organs after you have died? Nothing will happen. Or maybe as many believe they will not see the kingdom of God. Everyone here today should be the ambassador in ensuring they change people's perspective on donating their organs after they are gone. We should create awareness tell them we need to use the opt-out system in our country. Having the opt-out system implemented in our country, we will see everyone donating their organs so that they can be used in the future by those people that are in need. The opt-out system will mean that we will have many people donating their organs thus there will be no waiting for the patients due to lack of some organs.

For those fearing that they will be left “open” after the surgery has occurred that’s a big NO! The procedure will just be done the same way surgeries are done with doctors covering up your body the same way it was but this time lacking some of the organs. This should change, while donating an organ, this will improve the quality of life to the recipient. It will mean that their lifespan will be increased, with no difficulties in getting an organ. As I conclude dear people, there is the need for us to change our way of doing things and adapt to some of the methods that have worked in other countries. To me, I believe they can change many lives as it happened to my daughter.
