A New Approach to Organ Donation is written by Darshak Sanghavi, it was published on December 16, 2009, in the magazine section of The New York Times website. This magazine article is about a mothers and fathers who lost their daughters at a young age, and wanted parts of her body to live and save lives. This article also talks about the D.C.D rule, the D.C.D stands for donation after cardiac death. This rule means that doctors can not go through with any procedure until it has been finalize that every single organ in the body is pronounced dead. I chose this article because I've never seen parents so willing to give her their dead child's organs. I realized that they must really love their daughter and care for other who are in need of organs.

Organ transplant decisions should be made by doctors, not courts is written by Carla Hall, it was published in the organ donor section of the Los Angeles Times newspaper on June 13, 2013. This article is about how the courts are trying to control doctors operations. The courts are trying to tell doctors who to give the transplants to and when they should give them to a specific patient. "We don’t let people buy organs and we don’t let someone’s race or religion dictate where they stand in line for them. Nor should we let the civil courts--or the court of public opinion--subvert medical decisions" ( Hall). I chose this article because I had no idea that court houses had any control with organ donations. I always thought it was up to the doctors and the doctors only. This article informed me that there is more to this topic "Organ Donations" then I thought there was.
