What is organ harvesting?
Organ harvesting refers to the practice of removing usable organs from someone who is dead so that they can be transplanted into someone else. There is some dispute over the proper term for this procedure, since it involves delicate ethical and personal issues for many individuals. Some people may prefer the term “organ donation,” which indicates that the organs were willingly surrendered to benefit other people. People around the world die every day because their organs go into failure and are unable to support them. Organ harvesting is a way to prevent these deaths, and it may also provide better quality of life for people like burn victims or individuals who have experienced severe ocular damage.
