Organ Donation and Transplantation

1 Organ donation（捐献）and transplantation（移植）refers to the process by which organs or tissues
from one person are put into another person's body.
2 The number of people needing a transplant continues to rise faster than the number of donors.About
3,700 transplant candidates are added to the national waiting list each month.Each day,about 77 people
receive organ transplants.However,18 people die each day waiting for transplants that can't take place
because of the shortage of donated organs.
3 There are rio age limits on who can donate.Newborns as well as senior citizens have been organ
donors. If you are under age 18 , you must have a parent's or guardian's consent（同意）.If you are 18 years or
older,you can show you want to be an organ and tissue donor by signing a donor card.
4 Many people think that if they agree to donate their organs,the doctor or the emergency room staff
won't work as hard to save their life.This is not true.The transplant team is completely separate from the
medical staff working to save your life.The transplant team does not become involved with you until doctors
have determined that all possible efforts to save your life have failed.
5 If you need an organ transplant,your doctor will help you get on the national waiting list.Your name
will be added to a pool of names.When an organ donor becomes available,all the patients in the pool are
compared to that donor. Factors such as blood and tissue type, size of the organ, medical urgency（紧急）of
the patient's illness , time already spent on the waiting list, and distance between donor and recipient（接受
者）are considered.

Doctors will try their best to save your life even if you've signed________.
A:donated organs
B:the national waiting list

First Self-contained Heart Implanted
A patient on the brink of death has received the world's first self-contained artificial heart-a battery-powered device about the size of a softball that runs without the need for wires,tubes or hoses sticking out of the chest.
Two surgeons from the University of Louisville implanted the titanium and plastic pump dur-ing a seven-hour operation at Jewish Hospital Monday.The hospital said the patient was"awake and responsive"Tuesday and resting comfortably.It refused to release personal details.
The patient had been expected to die within a month without the operation,and doctors said they expected the artificial heart to extend the person's life by only a month.But the device is con-sidered a major step toward improving the patient's quality of life.
The new pump,called AbioCor,is also a technological leap from the mechanical hearts used in the 1980s,which were attached by wires and tubes to bulky machinery outside the body.The most famous of those,the Jarvic-7,used air as a pumping device and was attached to an appara-tus about the size of a washing machine.
"I think it's potentially a major step forward in the artificial heart development,"said Dr. David Faxon,president of the American Heart Association.However,he said the dream of an im-plantable,permanent artificial heart is not yet a reality,"This is obviously an experimental device whose long-term success has to be demonstrated."Only about half of the 4,200 Americans on a waiting list for donor hearts received them last year,and most of the rest died.
Some doctors,including Robert Higgins,chairman of cardiology at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond,said artificial hearts are unlikely to replace donor hearts.
"A donor heart in a good transplant can last 15 to 30 years,"he said."It's going to be hard to replace that with a machine."
The AbilCor has a 2-pound pumping unit,and electronic controls that adjust the pumping speed based on the body's needs. It is powered by a small battery pack worn outside the body that transmits current through the skin.

The patient's life was expected to last several years longer by implanting the artificial heart.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned

Text 2 Death comes to all,but some are more sure of its timing,and can make plans.Kate Granger,a 32-year-old doctor suffering from an incurable form ofsarcoma,has"very strong ambitions"for her last hours.She plans to avoid hospital emergency departments and die at her parents'house-music playing,candles glowing,family by her side.Surveys show that over two-thirds of Britons would like to die at home.Like Dr Granger,they want to be with family and free of pain.Yet hospital remains the most common place of death.For some this is unavoidable-not every disease has as clear a tuming point as cancer-but for others a lack of planning is to blame.The government,motivated by both compassion and thrift,wants to help.In death,at least,public wishes align neatly with the state's desire to save money.The NHS has calculated that if roughly one more patient per general practitioner died outside hospital each year,it would save 180m（$295m）.In 2008 it introduced a broad end-of-life care strategy,which sought to increase awareness of how people die while improving care.Since then the proportion of people dying at home or in care homes（the split is about half-and-halfbetween them）has increased,from 38%t0 44%.To steer patients away from hospitals,general practitioners have been encouraged to find their l%-those patients likely to die in the next year-and start talking about end-of-life care.This can be difficult for doctors."As a profession we view death as failure,"says Dr Granger.Yet when there is no cure to be had,planning for death can be therapeutic for patients.Those who do plan ahead are much more likely to have their wishes met.A growing number of patients have electronic"palliative-care co-ordination systems",which allow doctors to register personal preferences so that other care providers can follow them.A paramedic called to a patient's home would know of a do-not-resuscitate order,for example.One study showed that such systems increase the number of people dying in their homes.But savings for the govemment may mean costs for charities and ordinary folk.At the end of life it is not always clear who should pay for what.Although Britons can get ordinary health care without paying out of pocket,social care is means-tested.People must ofien shell out for carers or care homes-or look after the terminally ill themselves.Disputes crop up over trivial things,like responsibility for the cost of a patient's bath.A bill now trundling through Parliament would cap the cost of an individual's social care.Still,some want it to be free for those on end-of-life registries.That would cut into the government's savings-but allow more people to die as they want.
The best title of this text may be——

A.Dying at Home
B.Home Helpless
C.Hospital Best
D.End of Life Care
