Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is "Organ Donation Is A Must," so let's dive into it. If the government decided that all the healthy organs from the deceased people must be donated to the sick people who needed them, there are possible long-term effects, such as good and bad.

The good long-term effects

(1) With more organs that they collected from the deceased people already available in the hospital, people who needed the organs, such as kidneys, hearts, etc., won't have to wait longer again. This means that those sick people could have longer and healthier lives.

(2) Those sick people would get a better life by implanting or receiving the organs, and there would be fewer deaths in the community or nations.

(3) Also, the hospitals won't have to struggle to find organs for their patients since they already have the organs in store, which could lead to patients having faster and more efficient medical care.


The bad long-term effects

(1) Some people may think or believe that the body or the bodies of their loved ones should stay whole after death without anything missing, according to their beliefs.

(2) Some people might feel upset that since the government has already made the rule that all healthy organs from deceased people must be donated, they will feel that they don't have any say in what happens to their loved one's body after they die, which can lead to emotional breakdown.

(3) People may also start losing their trust in doctors, worrying that doctors won't try their best to save their loved ones or the patients in the hospital that are badly injured or ill. On a norm, we always trust the doctors that they will do everything in their possible best to save or keep the patient alive. But since the government had already made a law that doctors must take organs from deceased people, some families or people might start wondering, "What if the doctors didn't try their best to save the patient because of the organs they need?

(4) People will start having trust issues with the doctors. Because of the law the government created, there would be a high risk of crime. For example, people may start taking advantage of this law by faking deaths all because of money, or people would be doing organ trafficking. If people see that organs are in high demand, they may use the opportunity to make money out of it.

My brother showed me and my roommate a video, and the video is real of how a young boy, if I should guess his age, should be around 13–15 years old, and some of his members are killing people all because someone told them that they needed human kidneys, and they killed people, removing their two kidneys, and selling them to that man that sent them, and the man always gave them #25,000 for the both's kidneys.

What would I do?

For me, it would be difficult and hard for me to abide by the rule the government created. Though donating the organs to sick people to help them is a good thing, but I think people should have the right to decide what would happen to their body after they die. If the government forced the law and punished those who didn't abide by it, I may not have other choice but to abide by the law.

In conclusion, this type of law the government put down could save lives by providing more organs for sick people to get better lives, but it could also lead to people's not having trust in health care or doctors.

I agree with you on the need for each individual to decide what they want to do with their organs rather than it's being compulsory.

But then, we can't help but realised that organs not donated, just rot and waste while there are people who needs them.

Yes, people should have the right to decide what they want to do with their organs. Also, organs of the deceased people just rot while there are people out their fighting for their lives just because they don't see someone that will donate organs for them.

Everything has its pros and cons, and you addressed each of them well in your text. Thank you for that!

Yes, you're welcome.

I see your point with people losing trust in doctors. A person might begin to think that the physician is no longer delivering optimum health service because there's someone else who has paid good sum and is in need of a transplant.

The whole rationale behind the donation is understood, but people should make that call for themselves or their families should(if the person is already deceased).

Yes, people should decide for themselves not that the government should decide for them. Also, if people see that doctors are not trying their best to save the patients just because some people are in need of organs they will start losing their trust on them.

For sure, there's going to be side effects to it especially the abuse. But if it's well structured, it's going to help the world the more

Yes,you are right

Thanks,pandex.
