Emergency! Lab 7: Performing Surgery

by: Nicole H. Maller

In this chapter, doctors are unsuccessful in reviving a patient who is an organ donor. Students are called upon to perform the donation surgery, with the job of identifying and removing various organs from the patient’s body. In the United States, a person needs to “opt-in” to be considered an organ donor. In some countries, a person is an organ donor until they “opt out.” Students are asked if they would vote for or against an “opt out” if offered in the United States, and to justify their position. For more information on how to implement the activities discussed here, please see the Teacher Edition.
