What are the pros and cons of organ donation?


does anyone know any good websites where i can find the pros and cons of organ donation?
i need 5 pros and 5 cons.
please.thank you.

Cons:

If your dying and they see you have a chek mark on your drivers licsence, they will not try to save your life, but your organs only. (so you will not have a fair treatment)

You might end up be use for Science. (ex. Body World)

If you die and they take your eyes,.. and find a cure for death years later and they start bringing people back to life, YOU'L BE BLIND!!!

pros:
1. you can save someone's life
2. you could make their aesthetics look better..say donating like skin
3.to that one person you are a god send, most likely
4. it feels good to have that check mark next to the "donor" part on your drivers license
5. you're probably bound to go to heaven if you believe that is haha

cons:
1. you might be dead
2. say if you donate a kidney and you're still alive..you have one less kidney
3. you have to go through surgery if you're still alive

i don't think there are too many cons, because it feels pretty good to help someone out who needs it more than you might

One 'pro' at least is easy.
saves lives
I don't know any 'cons' for after-death donations. If someone tells you that your family or estate has to pay for removing your organs, they are wrong.

What Someguy said is true. I am taking the mark of my ID card the next time I have it updated. But I have told my family that if any thing does happen that I do want to donate my organs.
