Organ Donation

· My topic is, organ donation after death should be encouraged.

· The target audience for this speech are all concerned citizens willing to support the nation that continues to lose patients due to the failure of available organs or lack of organ donors. Their acceptance of the topic would be a significant step towards accomplishing improved healthcare delivery.

· Logos, pathos, and ethos

a. Logos to be included, “all over the world, doctors highly recommend this course of action.”

ii. Pathos to be included, "I know all of you will make the right choice since you got something many people lack: you have a heart."

iii. Ethos to be included, "As a physician, I am skilled in telling you that this recommendation and practice will assist a lot of dying patients."

· The other persuasive techniques I will use would be storytelling to breathe life into the topic. Also, I will give social proofs to increase their willingness to organ donation after death. For example, people who have been saved due to organ donation after death.

· I would avoid defective persuasion through two significant ways that are; relying on proper logic and presenting with my audience in mind. Appropriate logic and having the audience in mind will avoid introducing a new topic to the discussion.

· Research materials

Caplan, A. L., McCartney, J. J., & Reid, D. P. (2015). Replacement parts: The ethics of procuring and replacing organs in humans. Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press.

According to the author, the availability of human organs in America continues to be behind the demand. It is because the standard policies for encouraged volunteerism that have been established have failed regularly. Therefore, a new approach towards increasing organ donation would be encouraging the dead donor policy. It would be a strategy that will assist live or cadaveric organ donation to enhance the number of available organs in the medical market.

Morrissey, P. E., & Monaco, A. P. (January 01, 2014). Donation after circulatory death: current practices, ongoing challenges, and potential improvements. Transplantation, 97, 3, 258-64.

The author suggests that organ donation after circulatory death (DCD) is endorsed and encouraged by the World Health Organization and is practicable globally. Besides, there can be an increase in the common kidney transplants that can be realized if the idea of kidney donation regarding the death of potential DCD donors is extended. DCD donors will open the new way to people’s perception of helping those in need of organs since, after death, the organs will no longer be useful to them.

Flescher, A. M. (2018). The organ shortage crisis in America: Incentives, civic duty, and closing the gap. Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press.

Based on the research by the author, over 100,000 Americans need healthy organs. Daily, approximately eight patients die waiting for an organ to be available and more names added to this list. Besides, the worst is that the gap between the patient in need of organs and the number of available organ donors is vast and growing. Given that, the only practical way would be to encourage organ donation after death since death. These organs will help treat patients instead of them going to waste.

· I will specifically use photographs, diagrams, and charts. These presentation aids will ensure that the patients come to reality with the medical challenges that physicians experience in their duties. Photos of people in need of organs are likely to change their perceptions of the topic.
