Organ Donation Example

On my grammar class we had a topic discussion about organ donation. The main idea was talk about the text that we had read before, it was about a French family that was travelling in Italy with their kids, and had their son shot by a criminal. Nicholas was 9 years old; they were visiting a famous place in South Italy when criminal tried to pull them off from the road. Reg, Nicholas’ father, didn’t pull off, instead he sped up and the criminal shot the car. The kids, Nicholas and his sister, were sleeping at the back seat, and after the car being shot his mom didn’t realize that Nicholas was almost dead. After a while she looked back to the kids and she saw blood coming up from Nicholas neck, he had been shot on his head.
At the hospital, the doctors didn’t have much to do, because Nicholas had brain death. His family decided to donate all his organs to save Italians. The Italian society was very ashamed of the incident, and begged from forgiveness. Nicholas’ family also got a medal in honor of their position toward organ donation.

  1. Wow. I cannot believe that after all they donated Nichola's organs. It is very nice from them to donate Nicola's organs, but also painful.
