Organ Donation

‘Zinda Haathi lakh ka maara huya sawa Lakh ka’

Value of alive Elephant is a lakh and a dead one’s is one and a quarter Lakh

I have heard this quote hundreds of times since my childhood. Is it true only for Elephants? No, it isn’t. It’s about all the animals including human beings. As they say Human life is priceless. I will say a dead human body is eight times its price than its living entity, as you can save eight lives by donating your organs. That’s nothing short of a miracle.

Despite being a country of billions and billions of people, India has shockingly low rate for organ donation. Globally, over 117000 people are currently waiting for an Organ and there are far less donors. By burning the body or dumping it under-ground you are taking away lives of eight more people. It isn’t right at all. I don’t think there is any other noble cause better than sharing a part of yourself with others.

It has been quite a while since organ donation has been on my mind and finally I pledged it today morning at http://organdonationday.in/. I believe we all are born with ability to change someone’s life, and by donating your organs you are giving new breath to eight of them. And moreover, you become immortal and conquer death. So, Pledge your organs and convince your friends and family to do the same. Believe me, It really feels great! 

Act today and be a part of tomorrow’s better world. Organs wasted are lives lost.
