First, a question: Encouraging people to voluntarily donate their organs at the time of death through awareness and education has been underway for several decades. But do we also "incentivize" this - say by offering tax deductions once someone signs up for it?
The above question posed, let's take the mission of enabling every human being to see beyond people voluntarily donating their organs at the time of death or eye donations in exchange for money. Here's a thought that might be worth mulling over by parents of blind children:
Maybe, if it doesn't affect one's profession and livelihood and only with the advice and approval of an eye specialist, one of the parents can donate one eye (and the other step in if there's any complication for the receiver or donor in the years to follow). If there's an issue with matching blood types or something else, have a donor registry that allows parents of different children to cross donate.
I don't think this is a big sacrifice to make if your child can experience vision. And it can open up the child's life and life experience profoundly...
Thoughts?
