Bowmanvillc Lions Club member Merv English (left), who introduced the speaker, praised the program. He, himself, had a double lung transplant four years ago.. by Lorraine Manfredo Merv English, of the Bowmanvillc Lions Club, knows first-hand that a simple signature can save a life. A stranger's signature on the bottom bottom of an organ donor card allowed him to receive a healthy set of lungs four years ago through the province's Multiple Organ Retrieval and Exchange Exchange (MORE) program. The operation operation has given him a new lease on life. "MORE is the reason I'm alive today," today," Mr. English told assembled Lions Lions September 14th, before introducing introducing guest speaker, Wende Wagar, from MORE. Ms Wagar is the Regional Commu- nications Coordinator serving the Durham Durham area. She spoke to the Lions Club about the five-year-old computerized system matching potential donors with potential recipients. More than 600 people in Ontario are currently waiting for a second chance at life with a new organ, she said. Some will die for lack of a donated donated organ. And there is a critical shortage of organs and tissue. Several recipients can benefit from the signed promise of one donor. Healthy kidneys, livers, hearts, pancreases pancreases and lungs arc in high demand. So arc eyes, bones, and skin. Any previously healthy person, no matter what age, can be a donor. Many organ donations arc a result of fatal traffic accidents or aneurisms. Medical personnel will do everything in their power to save the life of such patients, ' the guest said. But, in the case of brain death, tissue and organs may be transplanted. Only after a potential potential donor is declared brain dead by two doctors, and consent is granted from the next of kin, can the organs be taken. Retrieval must be quick or the organs organs will die. "Yes, it is the way you see it on TV," Ms Wagar said. "The doctors do come with their Coleman coolers and take the organs away." Tests are conducted to determine if the organ matches the recipient's size, blood and tissue type.

The gift of an organ becomes "wonderful therapy" for the mourning family members, said Ms Wagar. "It helps the grieving process. It may have been a needless tragedy but something very positive has come out of it." But, still there arc objections to donation. donation. Fatalism, strict religious beliefs, and fear of mutilation are commonly- cited barriers to signing, Ms Wagar has found in her work with the MORE program. Only one in four drivers has signed the back of their license pledging the gift of their organs in the event of death. The MORE representative assured. Lions members that signing a donor card would not hasten a person's death nor would it compromise his or her care in a hospital. She reminded members that "Today's "Today's Promise is Tomorrow's Gift."
