Introduction
I. How do you feel when you have to wait for something you really want? What if it was something you couldn’t live without? What if that something was a liver, or even a heart? Every day between 16 and 17 people die while waiting for an organ transplant.
II. According to Medline plus by donating your organs after you die, you can save or improve as many as 50 lives.
III. Not only have I completed several research required to build my understanding of minorities organ donation, but I am already considering to be an organ donor.
IV. Today, I would like to tell the class the importance of minority’s organ donation, how your family and organ donor recipients benefit from it, and finally, encourage everyone to donate their organs upon death.
Body
