Organ donation is compelling topic for many, and a repulsive one for others. The availability of factual informatiion on tissue donation, however, is obviously advantageous to the patient in need (for whom we are ultimately concerned). Nurses on the 'front lines', fighting death and disease, need knowledge to make informed decisions on this topic, and to support the thought process of others in the position to consider tissue donation. I support the addition of this teaching in nursing schools.
