Organ donation

With Superstar Mohanlal  expressing  his desire to donate his organs, more and more people are likely come forward to donate their organs.  The case of Swathi,  who recovered from a severe liver disease because her aunt’s donation of a slice of her liver, prompted the actor to do the odd.

Nevertheless,  some hospitals are making this organ transplantation  a big thing when many die of ordinary fever and cough. If these people had enough money they would have been saved from death. But fame seeking hospital establishment take little care in dealing with these small business.  Moreover there is no believable statistics about the recovery of those patients who were successfully returned to normal life after organ transplanting surgery.  Except the case of Swathi, reports in this direction are not that much inspiring.

Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) should be complimented for its efforts to save Swathi , however, their insistence  to get Rs 14 lakh for the surgery raises questions because they speak volumes about charity. I believe all things under the propaganda of organ transplantation are not  in the right path. The organ transplant surgery brings fame and money for some but how many lives are saved by this way remain hidden forever.
