of those parts of the brain

5. Organ transplantation is the moving of
an organ from one body to another or
from a donor site to another location on
the patients own body.
Nowadays, you can choose to
donate your organs or not.
Transplants save and transform lives; but the
only way to get an organ is to take it from
someone else, and this has produced a set of
moral problems.
As it occurs in keeping somebody alive trough
the use of machines and technology, organ
transplantation depends of our individual
decisions, and of our thoughts.
