COMM 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Organ Donation, Organ Transplantation, Point No. 1
Document Summary
Specific purpose: to persuade my audience to donate their organs and tissues when they die and to act upon their decision to donate. Well, my cousin was five years old when he found out he needed a new kidney. He went on the organ waiting list right away. He was called twice during a six month span that they had a kidney available only to find out that the kidney wasn"t a good match. A small adult was in an accident and his kidney was a good match. This story had a happy ending but so many do not. Tie to the audience: one of the people on the waiting list for an organ transplant might be someone you know. Thesis statement the need is constantly growing for organ donors and it is very simple to be an organ donor when you die. [transition into body of speech]: i"ll begin by telling you about the need for organ donors.
