The Solvable Problem of Organ Shortages is written by Jane E. Brody, published on August 28, 2007. This web page is found on the New York Times website under the Health section.
This article is about the shortage of organs needed by thousands of people, it states that there is usually a 5 year waiting period for organs, with 97,000 people waiting 17 die a day. Doctors are trying to find a way to increase the supply of organs, this topic gets deeper and deeper the more you read further into the passage. I chose this article because I am an organ donor for one, so I would like to know how they work their procedures on the dead or alive. I find it fascinating that they can disconnect an living organ from its source and connect it to another source. I know there is damage being done to it but I will get into that when I widen my knowledge about this topic.
