Organ Donation Proposal

In the United States alone, 19 people die every day waiting on an organ transplant that could have saved their lives. The only solution to this problem is getting more drivers registered as organ donors. It has been proposed that the states automatically register their drivers as donors and it is up to the drivers to go through the procedure of opting out if that is what they wish. I agree with this proposal because you still have the freedom to make your choice but most people would not want to go through the process of opting out, so the number of organ donors would be greatly increased.

I also need to look at the economic effects of the transplant operations. When I’m researching I will look into the things that contribute to the costs of the operations and where that money comes from. To find the answers to these questions, I would look on government websites such as sciencecare.com and organdonor.gov that detail the particulars of organ
