Persuasive Speech: You Should Be an Organ Donor

Introduction:

By this time tomorrow, 12 people in America who are alive right now will be dead.

Not because they were in a car wreck,

Not because they were gunned down,

Not because their time had come,

Not even because they weren’t in the hospital,

but simply because they couldn’t be given a life-saving transplant in time.

12 people will die because the organ transplant they need will not be possible.

Money’s not the issue here.

It’s the lack of organ donors.

Hi, my name is Casey, and I will tell you of the Extreme importance of becoming an Organ Donor.

I will tell you why organ donors are life savers, how you can become one, the commons myths and Why this topic is very important to me

MY FIRST POINT IS :

I. Organ Donors are life savers.

A. Approximately 300 new transplant candidates are added to the waiting list each month

B. Researchers claim that less than half of all eligible organ donors actually become organ donors.

C. By becoming an organ donor, you could save a life of a deserving person.

Imagine if it were your best friend, your parents, your siblings, or any other close person that needed a live saving organ transplant. It might change your mind on being an organ donor.

Now imagine if it were you, that needed a liver, heart, or other organ transplant. You want to live to see so much more in life, but you did not get on the list in time and there is a shortage in organ donors. You must say good bye to life, your loved ones and every thing else. This is not a good thing to imagine, yet people die everyday with this feeling.

if you are dying, what are you going to use your organs for any ways? Why not give them to a person in need, a person that has loved ones that need...

... middle of paper ...

...as pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play.

Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.

Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.

Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window.

Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.

If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all prejudice against my fellow man.

Give my sins to the devil.

Give my soul to God.

If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.

If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.
