In Israel, if you sign an organ-donor card, you and your family can move up on the waiting list if you ever need an organ. Should the U.S. do this?
In Israel, if you sign an organ-donor card, you and your family can move up on the waiting list if you ever need an organ. Should the U.S. do this?
DAPHNE WHEELER, Huber Heights: “No. I think there’s more of a need to education people about what it means to be a donor. Some people fear what will happen. It’s about education, rather than saying ‘if you don’t, then you won’t.’ ”
KIM MILNER, Riverside: “My sister-in-law passed away a couple of years ago, and she was on the waiting list. So I think so. Maybe more people would be donors.”
TIM WILBERS, Centerville: “No. That sounds too much like ‘if I donate, I expect something in return.’ I’m an organ donor, and I don’t expect anything in return. I don’t think there should be reciprocity in organ donation.”
MORGAN PICKERING, Xenia: “Yes, because if you’re willing to donate, why shouldn’t you be at the top of the list?”
LINDSAY DEGRANDCHAMP, Ft. Wayne, Ind.: “I think it would be a smart idea. It would be a good incentive for people to give.”
MARC GRILLOT, Russia: “It makes sense. You’ve got to give a little to get a little.”

OK, if everybody signs up, then we are back where we started from. Then maybe we will look at the issue of need, instead….oh, that’s what was happening already.
