...Every year, thousands of people in America die due to the lack of available organs. In the article, "Organ Sales Will Save Lives" by Joanne MacKay she attempts to raise awareness that there are thousands of people in the world that are in need of life-saving organs, specifically kidneys. The author goes on to describe the grueling dialysis treatments for patients suffering from End Stage Renal Disease and the lengthy wait and hope for a cadaver kidney donation. Unhappy with these options; patients opt for a third choice, which leads them overseas into the pit of the black market. The reason is the United States government bans the selling of organs. In 1984, the National Organ Transplant Act made it a federal crime to, “knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human organ for valuable consideration for use in human transplantation if the transfer affects interstate commerce” (2007).

...Fitzner Summary-Response #1 February 7, 2016 Section A: Essay The Organ Debate MacKay made many points to support her argument on legalizing organ sales. Her first point was that the people who are currently donating organs, need money. She stated, “In third world countries, there are people willing to do anything for money. In such extreme poverty these people barely have enough to eat, living in shacks and sleeping on dirt floors” (MacKay 121). She continues to coincide with the donors, stating that they would basically be rewarded for donating an organ to someone in need. “We pay men for donating sperm, and we pay women for donating ova, yet we expect others to give away an entire organ for no compensation” (MacKay 121). As she said, we should treat organ sales like all other sales. If the transactions for organ sales were easier and beneficial to both parties, more people would be willing and to giving their organ away. If this happened, more people’s lives will be saved. Also, with more organs becoming available, the waiting list will be eliminated. That would be a major benefit to all of the people who need an organ. Then, MacKay continues with her second point, “Under a regulated system, education would be incorporated into the application process. Before deciding to donate a kidney, the seller should know the details of the operation and any hazards involved” (MacKay 122). Many people do not fully know or understand what is going to happen when they give an organ away...

...Organ donation 1. Write a summary of “I am donating my kidney to a stranger” (text 3) in about 150 words. The text main character is Paula MacKinnon and lives in Scotland. The text is about MacKinnon and how she had donated a kidney to a stranger, which is called altruistic. Her parents and her friends think that she is being foolish and they are worried about her. She knows that it is just because they care about her and that’s why they are trying to talk her out of it. The only person who is fine with all of this is her husband Colin. After all she is still donating her kidney to a stranger. It all began last year when her mother, Katherine 68-year-old, suffered from kidney failure. MacKinnon wants to donate her kidney but their bloods group was not compatible. So then Mackinnon realised when she could not do it for her mother then she could just as well give her kidney to another who needs it more than her. But even if she is a caring person and will give her kidney to a stranger, she will only do if its not doing any harm to herself. But this operation has minimal risks. 2. Give an outline of the various attitudes to organ donation in text 1, 2 and 3. In Denis Campbell´s article, Campbell focuses on the desperate need of a new organ donation system in Britain. People are dying because of the shortage. Campbell also thinks that UK should adopt the “Presumed consent” system, which always exists in many European countries. Robert D. Truog outlines the ethical...

...Through its exquisite examples, and compelling tone, Michael Sandel's article "What Isn't for Sale" advises that we need to recognize that our markets are taking over our personal lives and we have become a market society. Anything and everything are for sale these days in our nation. Sandel affirms that over the past thirty years our markets have changed from market economies to market societies. In agreeing with Mr. Sandel on this issue, we must understand the message he is trying to convey. It is possible to do so with the following reasons. We can’t allow for causes such as greed to take place, the consequences of inequality and corruption to happen, and open dialogue and debate need to take place so we all can agree how far markets can enter into our daily lives. First a brief summary of the article we are speaking about. One major aspect in the article is it speaks in detail about how anything and everything have become essentially for sale now. Dating back to when the Cold War had come to an end, markets and market mentalities were becoming very powerful. We began to enter into as Sandel states, “An era of market triumphalism.” In the early 80’s, Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan affirmed their belief in markets, and not government, held the decisive component needed for success and privilege. Years later when Bill Clinton and Tony Blair came into the picture with their market friendly liberalism mitigated but cemented that markets were for the greater good...

...EMV chips. Acording to EMVco “EMV chip-based payment cards, also known as smart cards, contain an embedded microprocessor, a type of small computer. The microprocessor chip contains the information needed to use the card for payment, and is protected by various security features. Chip cards are a more secure alternative to traditional magnetic stripe payment cards” (emvco.com, 2013). For fast transactions, the “tap” function of some POS (point of sale) systems is in fact a function of the NFC technology. In the case of using an NFC enabled smartphone (eg. Android Galaxy 3s and google wallet) or payment card (eg. Visa) with a NCR SelfServ Checkout at Dominion the process for the transaction is outlined below: Every card (even the "virtual" one used when paying with NFC enabled smartphone) has an account it is bound to. It could be a debit (bank) account, or it could be an anonymous account used with a prepaid card. When a customer or pays with the card, it authenticates itself in some manner - it may require the POS (point of sale terminal) to ask the users bank for...

...achieve success in every battle. The art of war is not a painting of men trying to fight each other with paintbrushes and canvases. Rather a work of art that summaries the philosophy, theories and strategies of Sun Tzu, not only can be used in war and on the battlefield but also in any situation where people stand to lose something, multipurpose, great! Most people blame losing on bad luck, words of a sore loser, but even Sun Tzu, whom wrote the book around 2000 years ago, knew that the first step or rather the first chapter to success is planning. You’d think they’d learn! * * At this stage, a villain would only think of preparing a plan that might lead them to victory but a hero would prepare a plan that can handle multiple possibilities which can turn a potential bad situation in to a moderate acceptable loss. And that is why good always triumphs against evil. Like any well thought out system or machine we require the blue prints and then parts. A car, for instance is a modern day miracle and irreplaceable part of our daily lives, but every car has some key components that are required for it to function, namely: the mechanics, the container, speedometer and rev meter. In the trading industry we also classify essentials into 3 sections: hardware, software and services. * * Hardware: We can start with the organs of every car, the mechanics under the shell, in our case the computer. What makes a Bugatti any different from Maserati, except the...
