Science continues to evolve at a faster pace than the scientists that brought it to life. Organ donations and transplants is a natural process that we all need to get involved in. Becoming a donor or a recipient is not an easy task. Two factors in organ donation and transplantation are who can donate or who can receive an organ transplant. Another important factor is the race of the donor and the receiver. We must also look at the ethical side of giving and receiving criminal organs.

To become a donor, everyone must go through many stages of medical evaluations and psychological evaluation. This helps the medical transplant teams to know if there are any medical or psychological problems in the donor that can be passed on to the recipient. Some say that the only way to donate is to have a donor card filled

"The American Public's Attitudes About Donation, Gallup Survey" 28 May 1999

To become a recipient, the patient is placed on a waiting list for the organ needed to be transplanted. Society's idea of transplants is that " although the majority of Americans do not view organ donation as an experimental procedure, nearly two in five do hold this view" (Transweb). This can cause the issue of having an organ transplanted to the reality of the fear society has created.
