THE GIFT OF LIFE
Enormous advances
in the technology of organ transplants
have been made,
yet thousands of people
continue to die
needlessly
waiting for transplants.
They might live
if only there were
a greater awareness
of the importance of organ donation.
Twenty-five
~ that�s right ~
twenty-five
different
organs and tissues
are desperately needed
~ heart, kidneys, liver, lungs,
eyes, pancreas, small intestines ~
plus skin for burn victims,
bone tissue and heart valves,
to name just a few.
Thousands of people
everywhere are waiting for organs,
tissue and bone transplants
~ and the number keeps growing!
One more person is added
to the growing list of people
who are waiting for transplants
every 18 minutes.
Their only hope
is for more caring people
to register as organ donors.
Everyone, donor or not,
will always receive
the same high quality of medical care
to save their life,
until a doctor pronounces them dead.
The vast majority
of people who die every year
could provide needed organs,
if only they will fill out
an organ donation card
or express to their next of kin
their desire to be a donor,
instead burying their gifts of life.
If they would only do so,
so many waiting for transplants
who die during any given period of time
could receive the gift of life.
You do not have to be young,
as in the cases of
~ Patti Szuber or Nicholas Greene ~
to possess organs and tissues
that can bring life to someone.
When you decide to donate,
you give someone else
the chance to live a normal life.
The need is so severe
that organs and tissues
go to the person most in need
who best matches the donor.
Persons who receive organs and tissues
are not chosen by race, income or faith.
You can be a true hero,
and give so many people in need
the precious gift of life.
What a way to go!
So don't bury your gifts of life
~ your very own extensions of immortality!
