Every
person has a right to be an Organ Donor or not, but the question is “What
happens if you’re in an accident and your life can’t be saved, but you could
save someone else’s?” On average, every ten minutes, someone is added to the national
transplant waiting list, and those people can wait days, months, and even years
before they can get an organ transplant.
The Commonwealth House Bill NO. 21 was
passed Friday unanimously, so while interviewing James Loving, a delegate from
Broadway School, he was asked what his thoughts were on the bill. He said “ I
think this is a very serious issue that involves a lot of people, there are not
enough organs out there, not just in Virginia, all over the world, and those
organs save lives. I also asked him if he thought this topic could make it to
the national level and his response was “As far as I’m considered this is a
state issue, and personally I don’t think it would make it to the national
level of legislative.” Now before this article comes to a close, one more
startling statistic is that a single organ donor can save eight lives.
