ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES It makes use if organs that would otherwise be wasted. It gives people a chance to help others. It saves lives. It can improve a persons quality of life. It comforts families who have lost a loved one. Although expensive it saves money in the long run as it cuts down on lengthy medical care. It can cause the recipient to feel guilt as someone had to die so they can live. It is an expensive procedure. There is a limit to who it can help. It can cause loved ones to feel resentment as they have lost someone but someone else has been able to live. It is not natural. Life expectancy after a transplant is lower than normal so it is not worth it.

In Spain they have an opt out system for Organ Transplantation unless you choose to opt out your organs are automatically allowed to be donated when you die. In the UK we have an opt in system. For someone's organs to be donated they must register and make it clear that this is what they want. They can even choose which organs they would like to donate. Which system do you think is better and why?
