Organ donor?
In one of my social work classes we were just talking about how women in other countries are selling their organs to pay bills and take care of their families. Many people expressed their concern about being organ donors for fear that they may not recieve the best possilble medical attention b/c their were donors. They thought that they may be "sacrificed" to save someone else. That is one reason why many people hesitate to become organ donors.
In other countries they have implied consent. Meaning if you don't sign a form saying that you don't want to be an organ donor it is implied that you want to be one. A system like this may help people to feel a little safer about being organ donors and it may save more lives b/c more organs would be available.
