Giving organs and act of love.

For transplantation, the dictionary says: to take an organ from one´s person´s body and put it into another person´s body. It makes me relate transplantation with the character of the novel Frankenstain. It was science fiction at that time when the novel was written but with the advance in technology it seems possible, not in every aspect but some of them. Nowadays it is possible to fix again a foot, an arm or a hand to a person who has had an accident on that part of the body.
Our body is so gragile that we depend on the good function of certain important organs such as heart, liver, kidneys. If there´s a malfunction there could be a solution if there is a donant. In order to get an organ someone else has to die. But it is not how the problem is solved. There must be an agreement on the part of the dead relative´s and the organ must fit the patient needs and there´s also the question of money, transplantations are expensive. To get an organ for transplantation is so difficult because of the act of donation, some people do not want to donate their organs, we can´t judge them for this, or their relatives don´t want that the loved person should be taken parts of their body.
Some people think that the act of donating an organ for transplantation is an act of generosity and love. And it is, just to go beyond their suffering for losing a relative, they think on others. This relative could, in a way, go on living in the heart or liver of another human being, but it is only a kind of physical consolation because the soul is unique. Giving an organ for other person to go on living is an act of love, a gift, a sacrifice for the sake of others.
