Organ donation is the process whereby one's organs are `harvested` (the surgical procedure to remove the organs) and given to another individual in need of them. When being harvested, you are kept on a ventilator in order to keep ‘fresh’ blood pumping around the body. I am wanting to raise awareness about the process of organ donation and to make a policy change in terms of the consent framework around this issue. I am wanting to change; who is in charge of determining who gives the permission to donate organs of the deceased individual and changing how the organs are removed.
its my body and my choice. family should not get to decide what happens to me after im gone if i already said yes. fix this now.
