The existence of life towards death is

German philosopher Martin Heidegger: "Life is the existence of death towards death is being-towards-death." In the life cycle, as the age increases, the body gradually experiences the final death of aging, disease or accidental injury. However, Chinese people think that life and death are taboo questions, or they think they are young and do not need to consider them, but when life is often caught off guard when it comes before tomorrow.

The value and meaning of organ donation

Organ donation is an organ that still has functions in the body at the end of life and stays in humans in an unscrupulous way. This decision is love and despair, and can help organ failures who are waiting for the chance of survival due to diseases. This group of waiters must rely on the survival system, such as: Yerk membrane, active gynecological bulb, ventricular aid, artificial respirator, liver washing machine, hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, to temporarily replace the original organ function, and life may be threatened by death at any time. Maybe we are a group of people who are healthy and lucky, and we cannot understand how painful this kind of waiting is.

{9 However, under the legal concept of no donation, the number of organs donated must be greater than the specified number of organs. If donations cannot be specified by matching or other medical factors, after donating organs, third-class parents or spouses will also enjoy the priority of waiting for organ sorting in the future.

The difficulties of organ transplantation waiting

According to the financial group's legal person organ donation transplantation login and the patient's independent promotion center data, Taiwan's organ donation transplant waiting statistics, currently 10,347 people are waiting for organs in Taiwan. Take the example of heart as: 224 people are waiting, only 7 people have the chance to get a love donation and be reborn. Take lung surgery as an example: 88 people were waiting, only 6 people successfully had a transplant. Take liver disease as an example: 1,012 people were waiting, and 17 people regained their colorful lives. Among them, the maximum number of patients waiting for a kidney transplant was 7,923, and 26 people were suffering from inconvenience caused by kidney washing after transplantation.

There are currently 83 people waiting for pancreas, 6 people undergo transplantation, and they will never be given intraocular injection. There were 9 people waiting for the kidneys, and two people who received transplant surgery no longer rely on full static nutrition for nourishment. There are still 1,076 people waiting in the cornea, and 65 people see the light again after transplantation. The numbers waiting for organ transplants are updated daily, including God's blessing, and naturally some have died under the white bed in the hospital. These hardships of waiting are actually not enough to be told by outsiders, and their waiting is a kind thought, and a priceless gift for life.

Organ donation means that

Organ transplantation has become a regular medical treatment for organ failure patients under the development of immunosuppressive agents, but countries around the world are facing the problem of insufficient supply of organs required for transplantation. Legislation on organ donation and transplantation: The most common is legislation that allows the public to freely choose legislation that agrees to organ donation (called Opt-in law), and Taiwan adopts this law. This means that if I agree to organ donation, I can actively express my wishes, including the registration process of applying for organ donation consent card and the health insurance card for organ donation consent. However, compared with the elective consent system, another legislative spirit is that after all citizens die, the organs on their bodies can become the source of organ transplantation according to law, unless the parties apply for registration of organ donation before their lifetime, called Opt-out law. The countries that implement this law include Spain, La Livia, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Finland, Hungary, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Israel, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Greece, Bulgaria, Singapore, etc. According to international analysis, the organ donation trends of countries that use Opt-out law are also relatively high. With the global donation rate in 2021, Spain is still the country with the highest organ donation rate, with 40.20 people donating organs per million population, and 1,905 love donors that year.

The legal system of US law is called Required request. In the US medical system, if the patient is confirmed to die in the brain, it is legally dead. Medical personnel must submit suggestions and options for organ donation to their parents according to law. The parents must immediately face the choice of organ donation. If the family does not choose organ donation, the medical team will let the patient die, and respirators and other nursing systems will be stopped. The implementation of the statute has led to a 40% increase in organ donation rate, and the legal effect of the US states permitted to mark organ donation consent.

The next step in organ donation in Taiwan

According to the financial group's legal person organ donation transplantation login and the patient's independent promotion center data, the organ donation rate in Taiwan is only 6.6 people donated. Compared with the Spanish model, there are still many difficulties for organ donation transplantation in Taiwan. And at the end of life, while being good, if we can think about the expression of body autonomy in advance, what do we think about the choice of organ donation in love? If we can clearly explain it, it can help our loved ones to protect our loved ones and let go of their love while having sex, so that we can be at peace with life and death, and convey a gift of life love, except for regrets.
