24、rash of old and new concepts. New ideas are always welcome and can often improve our lives but we must ensure they fit well into our 41 culture.One current debate that highlights this crash between old and new ideas is the issue of organ donations 42 untreatable car crashes.Currently in China it is

25、assumed that 43 of untreatable car crashes would be unwilling to donate their organs to others.

27、tions have also seen huge rises in the number of organ donors since asking drivers.However in China organ donation is a(n) 45 concept to many and crashes with some traditional ideas.

29、rced on people, no matter how positive the aims are, will do more damage than good. Policy makers must go carefully and 48 in this area and ensure a system that is see-through and 49 by all. III.
