THE IMPORTANCE OF DONATING

By MARÍA ARIZA #BTO2A


One more year, Spain has surpassed the leadership number of transplants, and this is demonstrated by the latest data presented by the National Transplant Organization. We have more than twice as many donors as the average of European countries, which places us in one of the most generous countries in the world. 

No matter what your age is: you can be an organ donor, helping both young and old people, always in order to improve their way of life. However, minors who make this decision must consult with their legal tutors, as they must authorize it. In addition, you must be informed of all types of donations that exist, such as kidney, liver, lung, heart, pancreas, blood ..., performing in the first place those that are scarce.

As a conclusion, we should all be aware of the satisfaction of knowing that other people’s life is being improved with this gesture.
