A 15 years old boy was injured very badly in a car
accident. Countless bones were broken and most importantly, he was an in
condition of brain dead. This boy’s name is Tyler. Tyler wasn’t looking around
when he was going home cross the road. A tractor trailer struck him while he’s
walking. The boy had his headphone’s on, and wasn’t paying any attention to the
surrounding world. The surgeons were trying hard to save this patient from
death, but their work ends up in vain. After 48 hours, the family of the boy
was told that the boy was gone. The brain activity of the boy was absolute 0.
The boy became a no brainer. Then there
was a man called Allingham, who was suffering from a genetic heart disease,
hope to have a healthy life style. But he was in a critical condition. So the
surgeons gave the heart of Tyler to Allingham. Afterward the families met each
other and spend Christmas together. The said it’s amazing to meet each other
after all of this.
I think it could be a very nice thing to do to give
part of my body to a person who’s dying from other things. The countries which
have this kind of policy always have a better living condition, like Singapore.
In some countries, they don’t have this kind of policy, which makes the life
extremely difficult. In China, it’s illegal to remove part of people’s body
even though after they were dead, unless the family agreed. I think this policy
is ridiculous and cruel. I hope the world can be helping each other like a
whole system, not being thousands of individuals.
