Book excerpt: Because of Organ Donation Series: Book 2 Our children are as precious as the gift of life itself, so imagine when it's a child in need of a life-saving gift. Or maybe a parent is living their worst nightmare, but they choose to answer another family's prayer. If you had the power to be a hero as a living donor and save a child's life, would you do it? Almost 2,000 children are on the transplant waiting list, and the more than 500 children waiting for a donor organ are five and under. This collection of stories will give you a glimpse into pediatric organ donation and transplant. You will meet parents who never imagined their child would need a life-saving gift. You may find yourself empathizing with the family that had to make the incomprehensible decision for their own child to become an organ donor. You might cheer on the family member, friend, or complete stranger who wants to donate a kidney or a portion of their liver. Each chapter represents the amazing gifts that can come from organ donation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rates of organ donation lag far behind the increasing need. At the start of 2006, more than 90,000 people were waiting to receive a solid organ (kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, heart, or intestine). Organ Donation examines a wide range of proposals to increase organ donation, including policies that presume consent for donation as well as the use of financial incentives such as direct payments, coverage of funeral expenses, and charitable contributions. This book urges federal agencies, nonprofit groups, and others to boost opportunities for people to record their decisions to donate, strengthen efforts to educate the public about the benefits of organ donation, and continue to improve donation systems. Organ Donation also supports initiatives to increase donations from people whose deaths are the result of irreversible cardiac failure. This book emphasizes that all members of society have a stake in an adequate supply of organs for patients in need, because each individual is a potential recipient as well as a potential donor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This picture book was created for young children who are in need of a solid organ transplant. It was developed by two dedicated Social Workers at the University of Michigan Transplant Center to give these children and their families something to put them more at ease with the organ transplant process and to help them understand that they are not alone. The bright and colorful illustrations appeal to a child's eye. Simple text accompanies each illustration. A direct question (e.g. "Will I have stitches or a scar?") on one page is answered on the facing page, beneath an original illustration (e.g. "Your doctor will use stitches or a special kind of glue to help your body heal from the surgery. After the stitches come out, you will have a scar. This will always remind you of how brave you were!"). This book is the perfect accompaniment for young children who may need a transplant, as well as for siblings and other family members who have questions and would appreciate some assistance on how to talk about the transplant process.
