Health around the world

One of the worst senarios that can happen to us is to get into an accident that we didn't even ask for, and end up in need for an organ donation. Cases like these show up every day all around the globe, people getting into car accients that were caused by someone else being irresponsible, and the innocent person ends up being the one who was hurt the most;

Cases like these show up sometimes on their own, there are many things that can possibly go wrong in our body, and sometimes they simply decide to give up and let go, causing the person to have a lot of problems.

In December 2012, México approved a reform in the General Health Law that says that every person who dies tacitly agrees to donate his or her organs except for those who explicitly express otherwise. However, in other countries, there’s a big debate in organ donation because not all the people think it’s appropriate to donate them, mainly because of ethical and religious reasons.

Throughout the world there exist several beliefs about the right of organ donation, as well as body operations. For example,islamic religion opposes this action, because of ancient beliefs, like inducing that the boy shall not be transformed, because they believe that a dead body is very honorable and shouldn't be touched.

In the other hand, christians are completely in favor of organ donation, because sacrificing himself is one of the principles Jesus intended to teach us.

Despite this, many people around the world take the brave decision of donating their organs upon death to save the lives of one lucky individual.Surgeons should be sure that the organs they perform the transplant operations with fulfill the policies of the medical community; an example of this is making sure that the donor was a healthy man(non-smoker for example). It is of terminal importance that the organs donated are in good shape so the person that receives the transplant doesn’t have any issues with it in the near future; if the organs are not in appropriate condition, there could be a chance that the donated organ fail again, which would make the patient to need of another donation.
