SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 326

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to pay 
tribute to the men and women who have donated organs so that 
others may live and to the Texas Transplantation Society, which 
promotes and facilitates organ transplantation within the
State of Texas and to proclaim March 8, 2005, Transplant Day at 
the Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas Transplantation Society has invited 
transplant physicians, surgeons, nurses, organ recipients, 
living donors, and family members of donors to the Capitol to 
accentuate the continuing shortage of organ donors; and
	WHEREAS, More than 87,000 men, women, and children 
nationwide, including almost 6,000 Texans, are anxiously awaiting
organs for life-saving transplants; this number grows daily,
so thousands of patients will die while waiting for organ 
transplants; and
	WHEREAS, To change this grievous situation, the Texas 
Transplantation Society strives to educate all Texans about the 
critical shortage of organ donors and the life-saving benefits
of transplantation; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, commend the Texas Transplantation Society and 
its supporters for their important efforts to highlight this 
crucial health issue, commend all those compassionate Texans who 
have chosen to share the gift of life with others by being organ 
donors, and encourage all Texans to consider making this 
important choice on behalf of their fellow citizens; and, be it 
further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
the Texas Transplantation Society as an expression of high regard 
from the Texas Senate.
                                                                          Nelson
