Organ Donation Has Consequences Some Donors Aren't Prepared For is written by Gretchen Cuda-Kreon, it was published in the treatments section of the Health News From NPR website on July 02 2012. This article is about a man named Jeff Moyer who has donated a kidney, because he thought he was doing a good deed. He was not aware of nun of the consequences and problems that he was getting himself into. Now that he has donated his kidney, he is beginning to get symptoms that he never had before, even though he gave the kidney away, he actually needed it. Moyer is now feeling daily pain that is preventing him from working. I chose this article to inform readers about this mistake he made. Just because your doctor says it is ok to give up one of your organs do not mean that your bod says it is ok.
Most living kidney donors return to their daily lives in a matter of weeks, but for some, unforeseen physical and financial complications arise.

Organ Donation is written by Lise M. Stevens, it was published on January 9th 2008, in the news journal section of the JAMA (The Journal of the American Medical Association) website. This Journal article is about Organ Donors and how to be a organ donor. It provides the definition of a donor, as well as give you actual facts about being an organ donor. This article walks you through step my step on how to become organ donor and the consequences or procedures behind it. I've chosen this article because I think it is important for people to know what a actually organ donor is and what they have to go through whether they are dead or alive.
