Organ Donation Persuasive Speech

Woke up early in the Sunday morning to start writing the persuasive speech assignment that I will need to give on 03/10. With the great topic ‘Everyone should be an organ donor’. Organ donation

Whether you are rich or poor, men or women and we are all the same inside. We have 2 kidneys, 2 lungs and 1 heart. However, imagine you have to wait for something you really need. And it came down to life or death may I asked how do you feel?Well, my cousin/Emily was 3 years old when she found out she needed a new kidney. She went on the organ waiting list right away. She was called once during a six month time period that the hospital had a kidney available but only to find out that it is a good match. Unfortunately, it is not a good match. After 13months waiting and she finally got a good match. This story had a happy ending but so many are not.Today I’d like to talk to you about first, the need for organ donors in our area, second, how you can become an organ donor after you die, and finally, how your family and organ donor recipients benefit from your donation.BODYI. People around the world but also right here in California and around the States need organ transplants and they need our help.A. The problem is that there is a lack of organs and organ donors who make organ transplantation possible.1. The need is many organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and etc.2. Each day, an average of 75 people received organ transplants. However, an average of 20 people dies each day waiting for transplants that can’t take place because of shortage of donated organs.a. The following poem by Robert Test entitled, “To Remember Me,” shows the importance of organ donation.“Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face or love in the eyes of a woman. Give my heart to a person whose heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain… Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk…Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window.
