Free Funerals: Good Way to Boost Organ Donation

Free Funerals: Good Way to Boost Organ Donation

Today, many people face problems while getting their organs replaced because living organs are scarce in the market. According to an influential British medical ethics group, inspiring efforts are needed to be made for motivating large number of people for donating their organs.

The group says that by offering free funerals to people who bestow their kidneys, livers, eggs, sperm, blood and other organs to “people in need” could help in increasing such donation rates.

As mentioned by Nuffield Council, for donating organs, people have to register with the national organ donor record. This service of free funeral will be offered to only those who die after donating a body part. For those existing donors, no such services would be offered. As said by Keith Rigg, a transplant surgeon at Nottingham University Hospital and author of the report: "We have ruled out giving people a direct financial incentive to donate".

There is no doubt that the free funeral service will not benefit donor in any ways but then, it will offer relatives of the dead with a huge help. It is basically analogous to the idea of donating bodies for anatomy and other medical practical sessions. Many people donate their bodies to medical schools for making further researches; for such people the entire burial or cremation costs is covered by the medical group.
