Introduction Here is the report concerning about whether we should legalize the sale of human organs. People has discussed about it for a long time. According to public reports, China has become the world's second largest organ transplantation country. In China, There are about ten thousand cases of transplant operation each year. Besides, millions of patients are waiting for organ transplants. Under the serious imbalance of organ supply, some patients tend to buy organs through black market.

...many people as possible, however, now we are realizing an epidemic that is nearly world wide of providing enough organ transfers for those who need them. Organ sales are currently illegal in almost every country, which has created a corrupt black market system. This black market system is flawed with favoring the rich, exploiting the poor, and putting innocent lives in danger. The job of the Church is to work to uphold the standards within the Bible, the standards of helping as many as possible and protecting the body as a temple. By legalizing the sale and transactions of organs, there would be a surplus of organs available to those who would usually not be able to receive them and they would...

...Shiner-Swanson Final Research Paper The Sale of Human Organs In the US recently the issue of human organ trafficking has become a bigger and bigger problem. When people hear that human organs are being bought and sold on the black market, they think that kind of thing only happens in third world countries, but it is quickly becoming one of America's biggest issues. People spend years of their lives on the transplant list waiting for a life saving operation, and they think that if they just buy whatever they need, it will solve all their problems. What most people don’t understand is how corrupt and dangerous organ trafficking is. The sale of human organs either facilitated through a doctor or on the black market, will soon be a huge problem in the near future. People on one hand are becoming so desperate for life saving transplants, and on the other hand people are looking to make a profit from buying or stealing organs and selling them on the black market. Organ trafficking is already an issue in third world countries, and will become a problem in the United States before we know it. The history of human organ transplant dates back further than most people would think. The curiosity of transplant dates back before modern medicine, in 9th century BC where individuals sewed animal parts together. In 4th century BC, Chinese texts describe Tsin Yue-Jen, a surgeon who switches the hearts of two people. This is the first documentation of a human transplant. In 1878, the first bone...

...Organ Donation Should be Mandatory Organ donation is important for saving life as a result this process should be mandatory, that is definitely to increase the organ supply and the good way to stop organ black market. On another hand, it can be argue that process is unlikely with human right and some culture objection. Legislation organ donation is increasing the organ supply. Now number of people who need organ has grows up faster than supply obtainable. This is definitely the best way save life and also cut down the long waiting list for organ. Every patient has opportunity for received organ not only rich patients. These are obviously benefits people will get from mandatory organ donation. A law for organ donation is a main point to stop the black market. Accordingly, demand of organ is increasing everyday while there are not enough organs available. Therefore, rich patients do not want to queue for waiting organ they are offer good advantage to people who can support organ to them. So, if organ still shortage the black market around the world will be increase and it seem organ transplant is just only for rich people. In fact, organ donation is compulsory duty of people to do. Mandatory organ donation may not be the good way of human right as some people say organ donation should not being under control of rule or law. For that reason many people think organ donation should be the personal opinion. They should have a power to decide by themselves. Freedom importance...

...kidneys and other organs. Vietnam is using a system far ahead of the rest of the world as a solution to the available organs until growable organs become a reality. Therefore the legalization and creating of a system for the monetary compensation for organ donors to motivate them to save the lives of millions. Thus I chose to write my thesis advocating the use of such a system. With this system the medical world can, like Vietnam, not only eliminate the organ shortage of organs such as kidneys and liver, but we can save medical expenses to those receiving said organs. Yet there are still...

...Selling Human Organ A farmer in an Indian village wants more than anything else in the world to send his child to college. To raise money, he sells his spare kidney to an American in need of a transplant. A few years later, as the farmer’s second child approaches college age, another buyer comes to his village and offers a handsome price for his second kidney. Should he be free to sell that one, too, even if going without a kidney would kill him (Sandel 72)? Some might object that, regardless of whether the practice already exists, it is clear that legalizing it would make it worse. Not only that, but it seems like the person would become like a marketplace selling his organs. If someone had mentioned that they want to donate their kidney to someone and dies, then it is fine. Then suppose that the person starts selling his kidney or any other organ of his body. Basically he or she is doing it for money, but what if the person's other kidney got damaged? Then what would the person do? Besides it will be a stronger cause of corruption because many people are poor and need money to feed their families so they sell their kidneys; however, this may cause future health problems to that person. Selling organs is wrong and it should not be allowed. Selling an organ is menacing, even for those organs which can be removed without killing the donor. Murphy say,“isn’s it more dangerous to have black market organ transactions?”(1). This is normally the first protestation embossed after...

...Should Organ Market be legalized? Many people die each year while waiting on the list for an organ. The National Organ Transplant Act was founded to address the organ donation shortage and improve the organ matching. The National Organ Transplant Act is responsible for the placement process and the managing of the waitlist. But in title three section one of the National Organ Transplant Act the federal government bans the buying and selling of organs in the United States. The growth in population and the decrease in organ donation has resulted in organs deficit. There is a growing supply and demand gap in the United States. The non-legalization of organ markets goes against the concept of choice and individual rights which is part of the foundation of the United States. The body is a private property and people should have the right to do as they please with their body. By having an organ market there will be many economic and personal benefits. Some arguments that are proposed by people against the organ market are that the legalization of the sale of human organs would create a black market. A black market that might increase crime in the illegal pursuit of organs. It is also believed that organ market will result in many negative externalities; a negative externality is a cost that is suffered by a third party that was not included in the original plans. An example of a negative externality that would arise from the legalization of organ market would be an increasing child...

...unacceptable. Selling one’s body parts solely for profit is unethical. Hagar Gov-Ari states, “This would give the wealthy an unfair advantage for “obtaining donated organs and tissues.” By creating a “rich survive, poor perish” situations, what should be life saving becomes an unbalanced and dirty practice that could potentially overthrow the whole medical system” (Gov-Ari). This action is unethical because one puts their needs and greed of profit over their morals. This loss of morals can not only put an innocent...

...The Real “Consequences” of Legalizing Organ Sales For decades, generations have been hesitant to modernize. Whether it involves fashion, culture, healthcare, or even racial integration, society tends to reject anything that indicates reformation. Due to this, a taboo is trademarked on to the organ donation market; moreover, this taboo is engraved because it is currently illegal in the United States. The Black Market is an illegal system that makes profit over immoral businesses. These include things like human trafficking, children, and drugs. But, selling organs to those who need it is not among these immoral things. While compensation is a huge benefit of organ donation, the ultimate reward would be saving someone's life. According to Anthony...

...a sound decision. Ethical dilemmas in society are encountered daily by many. The news feeds, newspapers, and television are full of ethical dilemmas. These reports may be about an actor or actress, rock stars, or politicians. Rarely does one find reports on ethical dilemmas of other types. I have chosen to discuss the ethical dilemma about selling and buying organs on the black market. Nature of the Dilemma Since organ transplants started occurring on a regular basis there has been a shortage for these organs. A transplant recipient can spend years waiting for the right donor and the right organ. Castillo (2014), “The United States government estimates 18 people die each day waiting for a transplant, and every 10 minutes someone is added to the transplant list. As of October 25, 98,463 people were waiting for a new kidney in the U.S. Thus far this year (2013), only 9,708 kidney transplants have been completed” (para. 1, 2). The ethical dilemma, should one be allowed by law to sell their own body parts. Eggs are harvested by surgery and are legal in the United States. Should one not be able to harvest other organs and sell them?...

...Get Your Organ Here.....get your viable organ Excelsior University Get Your Organ Here.....get your viable organ Exceptional lifesaving transplantation of human tissues, have allowed us to prolong life due to technical advances in science and medicine. The market place for buying and selling of human organs should be legalized and regulated by the government. There is currently a widespread shortage of human organs available for transplantation (United Network for Organ Sharing, n.d.). The current program of unpaid organ donation is insufficient and has failed to produce anywhere near enough organs to meet the demand for them. The gap between supply and demand is wider in countries where there are strong religious sanctions or cultural inhibitions (Scheper-Hughes, 2000, p. 1). However, if people could be paid for their organs then many who would not donate them would sell them. This, by true measure is Autonomy. Persons are said to be autonomous when their actions are truly their own (A Scension Health, n.d.). No right is held more sacred or judiciously defended than that of every individual to possess control of his/her own person. Organ transplantation contributes significantly towards improving health, value of lifespan and decrease’s the probability of death from organ failure. We have a global market place for the sale of goods and services. Why should human organs be any different? Yes this notion conjures up a distressing scenario of ideas to which many objections...

...Nowsdays, organ donation is a great concern. Organ transplantation is medical procedures are come to agreement between not only doctor and patient but also relations a third person-the organ donor. There are two ways of donation: after death and living donation. Organs and tissues that can be transplanted are heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas and eye tissue, heart valves, skin and bone tissue. Besides, blood, cord blood, bone marrow and kidney, which can be performed by a living donor. Some people think mandatory law is necessary because that can help people and reduce of black market, where sales illegal organs. However, some other ones disapprove that because of their rights be violated and their families want to keep the body completely. Both sides of this complex issue will be discussed in this essay. The most important reason of donation organs after die is that can help many people, even if maybe can save or improve their life. In 2013, 34 deceased South Australians donors, who contribute to the Australia wide total of 319 whose generosity benefited 1122 recipients, which means one donor can help not only one person but also several people. According to the Australia Advertise news, there are 1500 people are on Australian organ transplant waiting lists at any one time. Moreover, people have some milestone in transplantation. For examples, the first successful kidney transplant from a deceased donor at Queen Elizabeth hospital, Adelaide, Australia in 1985 and first...

...Commercialization of Organ Transplants Nicholas Owens Professor Kenneth Pino Business Ethics 05-04-14 I’ve recently done research regarding the commercialization of Organ Transplants. I’ve found many arguments for and against this subject. Some individuals find the act to be unethical, and other’s think it will save lives. The problem is that a new policy was proposed to allow sale of organs by consenting individuals to patients in need and to medical institutions. When it comes to the subject of human organs, there are a few ethical standards to consider. There are religious standards, social norms, ethical code, morals, and policies in which we should follow. Critics argue that permitting organs to be bought and sold is unethical. Meaning that to commercialize organs transplants would violate an ethical code and social norm. During my research I’ve found many pros and cons concerning the commercialization of Organ Transplants. One of the pros would be that it shortens the waiting time for those in need of transplants. For example, if you have been on a waiting list to receive a kidney and there are more donated organs you will receive one quicker to save your life. Another pro for commercializing organ transplants are an individual’s rights to have the freedom to do what they wish with their body organs. Some people might equate this example to abortion stating that the government shouldn’t be able to tell you what to do with your body. During NOTA (National Organ Transplant)...
