would not even be a thing. Organ donation helps an extreme amount of people every single day. On average, eighteen people die everyday waiting for organ transplants in the United States. Every ten minutes, another name is added to the waiting list. Yes, some unfortunate events have to happen in order to give an organ, but giving someone else the chance to live through healthy organs is a true gift. One organ donor can save up to eight lives. The same donor can also save or improve the lives of up to fifty people by donating tissues and eyes. The eyes can help people who have severe diseases or a severe impact (e.g. car accidents causing eye to be impaled) on the eye, and tissue can help with heart valves, cardiovascular tissue, bone and soft musculoskeletal tissue, and skin. The skin tissue can help save burn victims or people who have been in accidents causing very deep cuts.

In Conclusion, heart transplant surgery or even being put on the recipient list for a heart can be a extremely scary and nerve racking situation. With the right doctors and the right care, heart transplant surgery can be a breeze. It still is a very complicated surgery, but the outcome is worth the risks. Many people’s lives are saved yearly due to heart transplants. Heart transplants can only be possible through organ donation. Organ donation can also be a scary thing, knowing the only way to save someone’s life by ending another’s is terrifying but in the end, the person who is deceased is a real hero because they gave someone the gift of life.
