Synthesis Essay Prompt Analysis

Kahn’s purpose in writing this essay is to explore the ill mentioned side of organ transplants, organ removal. In the preface to the essay, Kahn talks a little of what drove her to write the essay, which she reveals to be an assignment to observe and write on the process of organ transplants. The article was supposed to praise how far we have come in the field of medicine in the last few centuries. Instead Kahn found the whole process to be strangely primitive in comparison to other modern, more streamlined procedures. To convince her audience of such a hard to sell point Kahn made sure to utilize the three rhetorical appeals, ethos, pathos, and logos. Kahn uses ethos (credibility) quite often, as she utilizes quotes by multiple

This project showed me just how much effort goes into writing synthesis essay prompts for the AP exam. My group and I worked extremely well together because we each have very different learning and researching styles. This helped to give our sources for the prompt lots a variety. Without a group, this project would become exponentially harder. Because each group member can pull from so many different sources, each project can have many strong sources as opposed to a couple strong sources and a few weak, filler sources.

I will be reviewing “Emerging Perspectives in Transplantation: Organ Donation Among Health Care Providers: Is Giving and Receiving Similar”, which analyzes the connection between the attitudes of health care providers toward receiving and donating an organ and how this varies among the different health care practitioners. Health care providers regularly encourage organ donation because they know the benefits that can derive from doing so. However, they also know the complications that can come from donating and receiving and organ such as future lifelong health problems, and a decreased life span. This article is very intriguing because it really makes me wonder about how people working in the medical field feel about organ transplantation

The Internet provides the public with an abundance of references on organ transplantation. Given the strong emotional nature of the issue, the sites, whether they be individuals, organizations, or coalitions do not take positions on the ethical and legal aspects of organ transplantation. Instead, they provide considerable amount of information on the issue in an attempt to draw the reader to their implicit position on the issue.

3. Many stigmas related to organ donation - relatively false, and in order to be well informed, you must

Numbers of people are sitting in a hospital bed greatly anticipating the day an organ match is found. The waiting list for organ donations stretches for miles with a mass of people in line for an offer. Thousands of people die everyday due to the excessively outstretched waiting list. The need for organ donations continues to grow, but the amount of organ donors is not expanding the way society wants and needs. Organ donations can come from live donors and deceased donors. Some citizens believe people should be financially compensated for donating their organs, while other people believe donors should give organs because of moral values. For decades, professors of medicine have been attempting to deliberate whether financial compensation is appropriate or not.

Thesis: Today I am going to be talking about the process of organ donation and hopefully I will be able to clear up any misconceptions surrounding organ donation and give you a clearer understanding of the process.

Thank you, Mario for your feedback. I am supporting organ donations, but there’s a lot of challenges that come with organ donations. The demand for organs is higher than the supply, which is causing a disadvantage for the individuals that require the organs. Organ donations offer the gift of life but it no longer becomes a gift if the organ doesn’t become available in due time. I have revised my thesis to include three points to support my claim.

Donating an organ, whether it is before or after dead, is seen by society as the right thing to do, but at what cost. Being asked to become an organ donor right before getting our license is almost always a yes. Death is one of the farthest things from our mind and when we are asked this question we would rather live life knowing our organs could be used to save someone’s life. But this simple checkmark or heart can sometimes be used against us; because there are so many people waiting for an organ, doctors have been given the ability to stretch the fine line between life and death. Not signing the donor card can gives us a few more bargaining space. Although both Crystal Lombardo and Dick Teresi speak about the effects of organ donation, Lombardo, author of “11 Major Pros And Cons Of Organ Donation”, points out the importance of becoming an organ donor, while Teresi, author of “What You Lose When You Sign That Donor Card”, describes the complications between doctor and patient.

Imagine, waking up one morning a transplant patient in need of an organ, finding out that there was a law just passed that permitted a patient to purchase the needed organ legally. Fortunately, there are those in the medical community that believe that the legalization of organ sales, is the only way to alleviate the rapidly growing problem of the shortage of available organs needed for transplants. The fact that altruism the premise that the donor program was first established under, is not able to meet the serious issue of supply and demand, has forced the medical community to look for other remedies. Consider a campaign launched by the federal government (politicians) in conjunction with the medical community, drug, and insurance companies that would bring awareness to the general public that focused on the need to legalize the sales of live human organ donor sales. There is also another side to this debate, there are those that are adamantly opposed to this concept, they believe that legalization will create more problems than it will solve. What this essay will examine is the

3a. “The myths and misconceptions about organ donation identified in this study need to be addressed as they can impact donation decisions. Although the participants expressed trust in the health care system, responses including fear of the organ retrieval procedure or bodily disfigurement indicated otherwise. Health care system mistrust has been identified in another study as a barrier to donation.” (Wong,

Throughout history, medical advancements and breakthroughs have been increasing exponentially, especially in recent years. These breakthroughs have had a profuse impact on our society as the average life expectancy in the United States has increased from 68 years in 1950 to 79 years in 2017. One of these revolutions in medicine is the process of organ donation. But unlike the majority of these medical innovations, organ donation has become a controversial topic amongst our society. Although organ donation is not a perfect process and may not follow all religious beliefs, it should be supported because it allows for medical advancements to occur throughout the world, follows strict regulations to ensure fairness, and allows for the gift of

Advocates may also testify at hearings or work to educate the Representatives about the issue. When advocating in a professional role or as an individual, a thorough understanding of all sides of the issue is necessary to be able to answer questions and respond to opposition. Utilizing recent data on organ donation supply and demand, and conveying the implications of passing the legislation as well as failing to pass the legislation are effective techniques for garnering

Organ donation begins with a person who recognizes an opportunity to help others, enrolls in a state donor registry, and shares the decision to be a donor with family members and friends. The culmination of

In this paper I will be using the normative theory of utilitarianism as the best defensible approach to increase organ donations. Utilitarianism is a theory that seeks to increase the greatest good for the greatest amount of people (Pense2007, 61). The utilitarian theory is the best approach because it maximizes adult organ donations (which are the greater good) so that the number of lives saved would increase along with the quality of life, and also saves money and time.
