Donate: To Lengthen One’s Life according to LifeSharers

LifeSharers is a non-profit national grass-roots organ donation network. They are open for free membership that would want to donate their organs first to their fellow members before making them available for other people.

By giving registered organ donors an edge over non-donors in the organ allocation procedure, LifeSharer gives all Americans a superior incentive to do their part in order to reduce the organ shortage in the country.

Its legal side…
Voluntary donation of any transferable organ from one person to another is legal. But must be done voluntarily with the sole consent of the donor and it is legally binding.

Sharing a part of your body with another person is always of legal basis provided that it abides with the rules and regulation of America. Consent and proper use of the organ and due diligence for the donor as well as the benefactor are just few of the rights of the persons that should be dealt with.

Its necessity…
When the shortage has existed ever since the first transplant operations were performed and it is getting larger every year. There are over 87, 000 Americans are on the national organ transplant waiting list and another 40,000 more people who will be adding to it that is according to United Network for Organ Sharing.

Currently, about 70% of the organs transplanted in the United States go to people who haven’t agreed to donate their own organs when they die. LifeSharers makes the organ allocation system fairer, by using directed donation to help organ donors get their fair share of organs. Directed donation as practiced by LifeSharers members is legal under federal law and under the laws of all fifty states and the District of Columbia.

Its testimonies…
According to Lawrence Reed, President of Mackinac center for Public Policy in Michigan, donating your organs when you die is a wonderful thing. Donating your organs to people who have promised to donate theirs is even more wonderful, because it gives everyone else another reason to do the same.

Research fellow at Hoover Institution in Stanford, California, D. R. Henderson said that his organs will go to people who have agreed to donate theirs. And he will not let it go to someone who is too lazy or too inconsiderate to sign a donor card.

There are only 3 things you can do with your organs after you die, you can bury them, you can cremate them, or you can share them with your fellow man. When you consider that your organs could save several lives yet only 30% of Americans are registered organ donors.
