In the equation 0 = 2x^2 + x - 3, we can see that a = 2, b = 1, and c = -3.

Plugging these values into the formula for the discriminant:
Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac
Discriminant = (1)^2 - 4(2)(-3)
Discriminant = 1 + 24
Discriminant = 25

Therefore, the value of the discriminant for the quadratic equation 0 = 2x^2 + x - 3 is 25.
