Which statement or statements in the following passage are reasons, which result in the realization that a decision is being invited, and how would the analyst map that realization?
"Ah, well, I found that, um, I saw a very dear friend of mine in trouble and, ah . . . I didn't like the uh, the uh, prospects for him if he didn't get a live donor. I didn't like the idea of him being on dialysis or waiting for a kidney for several years. And I love him and I love his wife and his baby daughter. And I felt that I've got two kidneys, I don't need both and it was, it was a decision that I made in about 60 seconds or so."
Answer: The statements "I didn't like the prospects for [my friend] if he didn't get a live donor" and "I love him and I love his wife and his baby daughter" are expressions of reasons that led the speaker to the realization that he needed to make a decision. The speaker never actually vocalizes a statement that says that a decision is needed. Instead, the speaker talks about how it took 60 seconds or so to deliberate about what he could do for his friend. The decision map would put "Should I or should I not donate a kidney for my friend" is a cloud shape and locate that cloud shape inside of a diamond.
