    Using the individual versus community we are forced to make a decision to either honor the John Doe or to do what is best for the community and put his organs up for donation. If we choose to honor the dead John Doe we would not donate his organs to the others that are on the transplant list seeing that we do not know if that is what he would have wanted for himself in his life. We do not know if donating his organs goes against his religion, beliefs, or personal standards. However, if we think about the community, more people would benefit from the organs if they were donated then if they were kept with the John doe. More people die waiting for organs than the amount of people who receive a second chance from being on the list, so as a community we should take every step we can to save the members of the community.
