pass a truth or myth card to the front. As soon as
the front person gets the card, he/she pushes the
buzzer and announces the answer.
1 point is awarded for the correct answer
The first person will then go to the back and play
continues with a new statement
Statements

A mechanic working on a fancy Harley of the local cardiac surgeon
shouted to the doctor across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a
question?"
The surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on
the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag
and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, took the
valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I’m finished, it works just
like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really
big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the
mechanic...
"Try doing it with the engine running."
The definition of an organ
o An organ is a structure in a animal
that performs a specific function
o Name a few examples
Examples of organs in the body
What is the largest organ in the body?
Hint……. It weights 9 lbs, 21 sq ft
What is a tissue?

together to perform a particular
function
Some examples……
Cartilage in the Human body
Bone Marrow and Blood Products

Types of donors?
Cerebral
(Brain Dead)
Cardiac Death
Death
Deceased
Donors
(No viable organs)
Living Donors
Brain Death and Coma
All Brain tissue is Dead
No blood flow to the brain
No electrical activity in
the brain
NO CHANCE OF RECOVERY
A portion of the brain is
injured
Brain is still receiving blood
flow
Electrical activity is present
Recovery MAY be possible
Deceased Donors: Brain
Death
Maintained on a ventilator---- artificial heart beat
Possible Donations
Heart, Pancreas, Lungs, Intestine, Liver, Kidneys, Bone,
Corneas, Heart Valves, Skin, Arteries/Veins, Tendons,
Cartilage, Bone Marrow, Blood
Process
Organs are removed in an operating room while the heart
function is maintained with life support.
Deceased Donors: Cardiac Death
No cardiac or respiratory function
Possible Donations
Heart/valves, Bone, Corneas, Skin,
Arteries/Veins, Tendons, Muscles, Cartilage
Process
Retrieved in a sterile setting, can be up to 24
hours
Living Donors:
Living individuals
who may or may not be related to the
recipients. Can start a donor chain
Possible Donations
Kidney, Partial liver, partial lung, bone marrow and
blood
Process
Potential donors undergo screenings and compatibility
testing.

How does the waiting List work?
http://www.donors1.org/patient/waitinglist/
In order to best understand how a waiting list works, let’s look at
the handout, page 17
Average Median Wait Time to Transplant
•Kidney – 5 years
•Liver – 11 months
•Heart – 4 months
•Lung – 4 months
•Kidney / Pancreas – 1.5 years
•Pancreas – 2 years
Rejection of an organ or tissue
Read III.B Background: Science handout
Write your thoughts to the following questions.
If you were in charge of the distribution of the organs,
would you give preference to children on the waiting list?
(Agree/Disagree)
If you were making the rules for donation you would allow
parents or family members to override a person’s (over 18)
decision to donate at the time of death? (Agree/Disagree)
Would you advocate to make OTDA mandatory in school
curriculums. (Agree/Disagree)

The Decisions of a Lifetime
Decision Making is the cognitive process of
making a choice or decision
Types of Decisions
 Personal- focuses on how it effects you
as a person. (EX. Is it Healthy, Safe, Legal, Respectful,
Parent Approved, Does it demonstrate good character)
 Social- involves considering those
effected by the decision (family, friends)
 Economical-involves the financial options
 Technical-focuses on the procedure or
means to carry out the decision
The Decision Making Format
Using the format handout, practice making decisions
related to organ and tissue donation by choosing one
of the following: (Next slide)
Should I make a commitment to become a deceased
organ donor ?
Should I try to convince my family and friends to sign
a donor card for deceased donation?
Should I consider becoming a living donor when I am
older?
Below are examples of things to
consider when making decisions
about donation.
 How will living donation effect my life?
Will a living or deceased donation effect my family?
If I donate will it effect society?
How will donation effect my religious belief?
Do I have confidence in the medical staff?
