Lecture - Organ Donation

On Thursday the 26th of March a representative from the Irish Kidney Association of Ireland came to our school to talk to us about organ donation. He talked to us about what a donation can do for a person. Then he also talked about the treatments for the people who need to get a organ. He also talked to us about the statistic for Ireland of people who are waiting for a donation and the increase in people donating their organs for others. He had to get an organ a few years ago which meant that he had a great amount of detail, experience and also made the talk very personal. At the end of the presentation he gave everyone cards that indicate whether or not you are a willing donate if something were to happen to you. He explained to us that if we wished to do so then we would carry this card around with you were ever you go. I found the talk every interesting as I did not know a lot about this topic before.
