Supriya Panjiyar Essays - Organ Donation, Medical Ethics, Medicine Supriya Panjiyar Professor Cherry English 1302-71016 13 September 2017 A Summary of Elisabeth Bletsch "Will Part of You Be Left Behind?" In Elisabeth Bletsch's essay, "W ill Part of You Be Left Behind? " she claims that many people do not register themselves as an organ donor . There are two simple reasons for it . First, people do not like to admit the fact that they will die someday which is inevitable and the second reason is people simply do not have time to go and register themsel ves as an organ donor. Since Bletsch lost her brother who had registered himself as an organ donor. She understands the importance of it. When we die our body becomes no good to us but if we register ourselves for organ donation, it could save someone's life. That is why Ble t sch appeals her readers to go and register for organ d onation because there are not many people who register themselve for organ donation and it has become a matter of conce rn. Becoming an organ donor is beneficial to other people in many ways because it gives other's life through your own. A P raraphrase of Elisabeth Ble t sch's "Will Parts of You Be Left B ehind?" In her essay "Will parts of you be lef t behind?" Elisabeth Blesch claims that not enough people put themselves forward or register themselves for organ donation. Even though people know that organ donation can be very significant in saving someone's life it has no t been considered important. Bletsch recommends that everyone should register to be organ donors. Since Bletsch and her family has been through similar situation after her brother died, she kn ows how important and vital organ donation can be. She recalls in her essay how she felt when her brother had declared that he was going to be an organ donor. After her brother's demise she came into realization of how important organ donation can be because parts of her brother continued to live on in someone else's body although he was dead. Bletsch's brother inspired her to become an organ donor . So as soon as she turned eighteen she registered herself as an organ donor. Our body parts such as tissues, eyes, skin, valves, etc . becomes of no use to us when we die. Our bodies are either burned or b uried and every part of us gets vanished after we die. W hen we register ourselves for organ donation we assure that some parts of our body continues to live on . People are dying every day. Some are dying because they do not get the necessary organ they needed for survival and some people die without leaving any parts of them in the world. The fact is people are dying either way. Even one person can save a dozen people's life if they choose to put themselves forward for organ donation. Many people fear the fact that death is inevitable and choose to ignore it. Hence, that is one of the reasons why people do not register the mselves for organ donation. People simply do not want to accept t he fact that death is a part of life and people can die any day. What people do no t understand by not registering for organ donation is that they are taking away that little chance of life from people who are waiting for an organ trans plant . Another reason why people do not go and register themselves as organ donor is simply because they do no t have time for it. People are so caught up in their own lives that they forget to stop and think about what would happen if he/she died someday? They should consider the fact that they would still be helpful to someone even after their death. Organ donation should be considered by everyone. It is one of the most unselfish act a person can do to save other person's life. Being an organ donor has never hurt anyone, in fact it gives a chance for someone else to live and our body part continues to live with in that person even though we
