Distributing Organs
Distributing the organs among the patients should be done in an ethical way. Not everyone in need of an organ transplant gets what is needed for
him because there is a shortage in organ availability. Actually, there should be a fair distribution plan and everyone should be aware of it. Most likely
there are two types of distributive rightness. The first type is called equal access, which means the available organs should be fairly divided among the
waited patients no matter the sex or the race, and the waiting time length should be considered. The first on the list be treated first. Another type of
distributive justice is called maximum benefit, which means that the doctor give the priority to the patient who "the doctor sees " that he/she will live
longer or the transplantation will be successful. It is a way to avoid wasting the organs because they are rare. UNOS encourages the transplant centers
in the United States to use those methods in distributive the organs: the medical need, probability of success, and time on the waiting list.... Show more

There are many arguments that shows it has no fairness between the patients simply because no one has the ability to determine how long the
transplanted patient will live after the surgery. How many years theorgan will function. I believe that the second type is an unethical issue in the
distribution because there is no equality between people, and it gives its back to the older people, and not giving them the opportunity to get the organ
they are needed for. as a result, they may lose their

Organ Donation : An Organ Donor
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, every ten minutes a name is added to the National Transplant waiting list. As of
December 1, 2015, there are 122,477 people that need a lifesaving operation and are on the transplant waiting list. While on the waiting list, there
is an average of 22 people that die every day. So far, only 23,134 transplants have been done in 2015. (U.S. Depart.of Health and Human Services)
This incredibly low number of transplants is why more people should become organ donors. Choosing to become an organ donor provides the
opportunity to save up to eight lives and improve the quality of life for many others with tissue donation. An organ donor can also provide comfort to
the grieving family: the loss of the loved one will be helping others to live. Becoming an organ donor is much easier than many think. The decision can
literally be done in just minutes.
Web MD states, an organ transplant is the surgical removal of a healthy organ from one person, alive or deceased, and transplanting the organ into
another person whose organ is failing. Often an organ transplant is the last effort to save and individuals life. This is why it is so important for
individuals to become organ donors. Not all organs in the body are transplantable. (Organ Transplants,16) The most common organs that get
transplanted are: heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. Tissue such as bones, corneas, and skin can also be used from organ donors.

Organ Trafficking
Organ Trafficking Organ trafficking is one of the great issues that is faced by the society today. It is a practice of stealing people's organ through
surgery under the influence of drugs or from a dead person, and the organs are normally sold in black market such as China. South Africa, and Russia.
WHO has estimated that one–fifth of the 70,000 kidneys that are transplanted every year come from the black market through a widespread organ
–trafficking networks. In my opinion, organ trafficking has become an international trade due to several reasons.
First of all, an organ trafficking market has created due to remarkably high demand for body parts from all over the world. Many people refuse to

* Every hospital has a tout. In fact, the doctors or nephrologists will often suggest a person that you can contact to get a kidney. They charge up to
US$10,000.
* The recipients were wealthy clients in India and other countries. Some of them were from Greece, Arab countries, United States and one or two
patients from European countries."
Opening sentence: Organ trafficking is the practice of stealing people's organs via surgery while they are under the influence of drugs, or once the
person is dead, when the organs can be illicitly removed and then used for further purposes such as transplants or sold on the black market such as in
China, South Africa, and Russia.

Organ Of The Organ System
Organ transplantation has been around for about 61 years. The first successful transplantation took place on December 23, 1954 by Dr. Joseph Murray
and Dr. David Hume at Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. That transplantation being successful on that day has saved many lives to this day
("Transplantation"). The only legal way to get an organ transplant is through organ donation. In the United States alone, there are about 122,690
people on the waiting list today and only 10,051 donors. Every ten minutes, someone is added to the waiting list and 22 people that are on the waiting
list dies everyday ("Organ Procurement"). There have been many debates on the matter of only being able to obtain an organ through donation. Some
people believe that there should be a legal market to sell organs. In these debates, people must take other matters into consideration. The sale of organs
may have an effect the environment, the different cultures, the economy, ethics, politics, or even science and technology. Weather these effects would
be good or bad is up to debate.
There have been many debates on the issue of the legalization of the sale of human organs. One person to debate on the issue was Dr. Monti. She put
out an elaborate paper on how the sale of human organs would benefit the economy. Jennifer Monti has a medical and master's degree in public health

Ceiling For Organs
The United States government has set the Price ceiling for the selling of organs at $0, meaning it is illegal to sell organs for a profit. However, many
tend to disagree with the law and believe a free market could lead to an efficient distribution for organs. While it is illegal, there are some ways to get
the organ you need. For example, Susan Stephens was a woman whose son needed a kidney, but hers was not a match. Susan then realized if she
was to donate her kidney to a person in need, her son would go up on the waiting list. The deal went through and Susan was able to save two lives
with her offer. After this story came out, many wondered where the line was drawn from legal to illegal. Could people exchange in organ for tuition?
Or, could people exchange an organ for a car? ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The average human is born with two kidneys, yet a person only needs one to survive. This fact makes giving a kidney to someone in need common
sense. However, most would not volunteer to go under surgery for nothing in return. If the government were to remove the price ceiling for
organs, there would be no shortage for kidneys, people who need money would now have a chance making a profit, and people who need a kidney
now have a better chance of saving their life. Since people who can afford a kidney could now buy one, people who could not afford one go far up
the waiting list so that they would not have to wait several years. Overall, I strongly agree that removing the price ceiling on organs could benefit the
person in need of some extra cash and the person whose life depends on a

The Organ Of Organ Transplantation
One of the most significant issues concerning organ transplantation revolves around the just and fair distribution of organs. Due to the assorted and
occasionally conflicting opinions of what constitutes as 'fair', in concurrence with a relative shortage of donated organs, many social, legal and ethical
contentions have arisen. This shortage is portrayed by statistics shown on the NHS organ donation page, where approximately 10,000 people are on the
waiting list for a solid organ transplant and approximately 1,000 people die annually whilst waiting for an organ transplant and in 2013, a record 4,655
patients received a solid organ transplant (National Health Service, 2014).
Furthermore, it is important to observe the fact that the organ donor deficit is growing, even factoring in the 50 percent increase in live donations since
2008. This deficit can be attributed to the rate of increase in donated organs falling short of the greater increase in transplant–requiring patients. This
can be further illustrated statistically where the number of people requiring organs has increased from approximately 8,700 to approximately 10,000
between 2005 and 2013 (National Health Service, 2014). There are a myriad of contributing factors that can be held responsible for the rise in required
organs, including the prevalence of diseases inflicted through lifestyle choices i.e. obesity and smoking, as well as improved medical science resulting
in an aging population. Additionally, there are

Organ Of Organ And Tissue Donation
Organ and tissue donation can be defined as the removal of organs and tissues from either a living donor 's body or body of a patient who has recently
died and transplanting the anatomical gifts into the body of the recipient (Frey and Waun n.p.). Donation has continuously verified itself in the science
world as an exemplary form of medical treatment. Based on the advancements in donation over the years, one can expect further amendments to be
made to the life–saving treatment in such high demand today. Various circumstances, such as an increase in obesity and life expectancy, have become
primitive factors in determining the demand for organs. The ever–growing need for transplantable organs increases daily, which in turn is accountable

Two discoveries that have aided in solving this factor are tissue typing and Jean Borrel 's discovery of cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant drug which
prevents the immune system from attacking the new organ (Corr n.p.). With organ donation steadily increasing in success, more patients are added to
the waiting list every day in hopes of receiving a surgery that will save their lives.
The practice of organ and tissue donation requires regulation and legislation to ensure the rights of the donor and recipient are protected throughout the
entire process. Because of the scarcity of human organs in the United States, the government created the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA) in
1968 to standardize the distribution of organs throughout the country ("Organ Donation"). Prior to the UAGA of 1968, there were no federal laws
concerning donation, and donations were conducted at the state level ("Organ Donation"). The UAGA of 1968 proved to be efficient in the
distribution of organs, but the system needed modifications to meet the high demands of transplants. The original UAGA lacked policies regarding the
ethical issues that arise when in the donation process. After being revised in 1972 and once again in 1987, the UAGA added new policies to further
improve donation in the United States. The new policies explicitly prohibited the selling of human organs, honored the descendant 's wishes over the

Organ Donation For Organ Transplants
INTRODUCTION
Organ donation is one of the most pressing health policy issues for our government to deal with and organ donation rates in England must increase in
order to meet the demand for organs on waiting lists. Furthermore, the demand for surgical procedures such as organ transplantation has rapidly
increased after scientific breakthroughs in transplant technologies as well as the advent of new medicines to reduce many problems associated with
transplants, thereby increasing the life expectancy of people receiving the transplant.
With more than 7000 to 8000 people on the waiting list in England alone, on the waiting list for an organ transplant and only an estimated 2,800 organs
that are transplanted each year (NHSBT 2016), there is a significant shortage of organs available for transplant. There is an increasing concern that the
current system for organ donation in England, is failing to meet the demand in organs needed for transplantation. The number of people needing
transplants is going up steadily by about 8 percent each year.(b) The number of premature deaths has also increased to approximately 1000 (Rieu. 2010)
every year and this is conceivably the most tragic reminder that the current system is failing us. To combat this problem, many health researchers have
suggested changes to change the organ donation laws, from informed consent to presumed consent.

Compensation For Organs
Compensation to Donors for Organs
The sale of human organs in return for compensation is a very controversial topic. It is also illegal in most countries; however, it is not uncommon
for organs of the deceased or living to be sold on what is known as a "black market" of organ trading/selling. Curdling Ireland stated "Is a global
market for organ sales the answer? Can a for–profit system exist, save lives, and still not exploit the poor?" (Harvard Gazette, 2008) this is a question
that has been brought to the highest judicial system in many countries to be discussed further. The courts focus on the immoral and ethical issues with
making the sale organs legal in their countries. This results in the illegal practice of selling organs for compensation. ... Show more content on

This would not only reduce the amount of deaths each year of individuals who are on the waiting list for an organ transplant, it would also increase the
amount of donors who would be willing to under such a invasive surgery because they will be compensated for their generosity. The most common
way that a patient on the organ transplant list receives their organ is from a deceased individual who has agreed to donating their organs before
their death, or the family or spouse has agreed to donate the organs of the deceased individual on their behalf. These facts are convincing and has the
reader pondering the thought "why do donors not receive compensation?" There are many individuals who believe that there should continue to be
absolutely no compensation to individuals who are willing to donate an organ. The topic of exploiting the poor who would justify selling one if not
two organs in order to be compensated because they are struggling financially is an argument that is discussed time and time again. This dilemma has

Organ receivers around the country would have to have the money to pay for the organ before having the procedure done. These issues could
ultimately affect all economically disadvantaged people in need of organs.
The cost of a kidney is easily in the range of thousands to hundred–thousands of dollars. Being paid to donate an organ would include monetary
rewards, free or cheaper insurance, or a lower cost of taxes. This may highly appeal to people with lower incomes, or the economically disadvantaged.
These statements were released by the National Kidney Foundation:
Offering money for organs can be viewed as an attempt to coerce economically disadvantaged Americans to participate in organ donation. Furthermore,
since the economically disadvantaged have been shown to be less likely to be organ transplant candidates, financial incentives for organ donation could
be characterized as exploitation (National Kidney Foundation 221).
This contingency comes to state that the financially disadvantaged are proven to be less likely to donate. Therefore, financial compensation may
pressure some people into donating organs despite the health risks. Financial compensation may argue against itself. A key example is that some

Though, it should be the standard that an individual is presumed to be an organ donor unless they opt–out at some point prior to their death. An
approach that was successfully implemented in Spain. Also, in 1989, the Spanish created the Organization for National Transplantation (ONT), which
places trained administrators in hospitals to not only be able to identify organ donors but spend time with families to increase the likelihood of
consent for the deceased. Spain's model allows for families to be asked to confirm that their loved one's did not opt–out at some point prior to their
death. Therefore, if they refuse then their decision will be respected. Their model has decreased family refusals from 40–70% in the 1990's to
approximately 15% in 2006. As it currently stands, many countries around the globe, including the United States, have the contrary. One is presumed to
not want to donate their organs unless an individual registers for organ donation. This feels quite antiquated and we should be following in Spain's
footsteps to change to a presumed consent system, which also ultimately allows one's family to have veto power. This would not only be a step in the

objective for kidnappers is to gain more money. As for organ trafficking, victims are mostly being cheated by not getting paid or not getting the correct
amount. According from the same source, an average buyer would spend around $150,000 – $200,000 for an organ while the donor only gets $5,000.

There is no one to turn because whole business is illegal. Miss McKay believes that regulating organ sales is not just a safer way for organ transplant
but believes it is a moral and ethical duty to help those in need and secure a safe way to see that happens. "Is it moral to sentence thousands to
unnecessary deaths?"(96) McKay believes it is immoral. This writer completely agrees. Over the years, kidney transplants have become much safer
and easier to perform due to medical advances and new medications on the market and the risk for the donor and the recipient is very low. A person
should have the right to do what they want with their own body, especially when it comes to matters of life and death. Selling a kidney to help one
financially, as well as helping another person live a longer and fuller life is ethically correct. If a person can sell blood, sperm, and even pregnant
women who are either surrogates or giving up their baby to a childless couple, have their entire medical and lifestyle needs paid for by the adopting
parents, then why cannot similar rules be made for organs sales? Tens of thousands of lives could be saved if countries change their laws. Imagine
what a true and wonderful difference in the lives of these people could be made.

Different countries have different systems to organize organ donation. These systems are known as either "opt out" or "opt in". The United States
is currently under an "opt in" system which basically means that we assume that everyone does not wish to become an organ donor, unless is it
made clear in their lifetime. An "opt out" system is one in which we assume that everyone wishes to become an organ donor after death, otherwise
made explicitly known during lifetime. It is proposed that the solution to the organ shortage crisis in the United states is to adopt the opt out
system. This system makes more sense because if a person is so passionate about not being a donor, they will voice that while they are living. Our
current system does not encourage people to actually take the time to make a decision about being an organ donor or not. Instead, the system we
currently have allows people to stay uninformed about decisions that could in the end give someone else a shot at living their life. An article
written in the European Journal of Health Law talks about the bill of 2009 that allows presumed consent for organ donation in European countries.

Organ Donation For An Organ Transplant
According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services 18 people die each day waiting for an organ transplant. They also state that
one organ donor can save up to eight lives. Those are significant numbers that should make us very much aware of the monumental impact organ
donation can have on the lives of so many critically ill patients and their families. Although the tragedy of an accident or horrifying event is sometimes
unbearable for the patient and the patient's family, it may result in what some may call a "new hope" for those who are awaiting organ transplantation.
Emergency department doctors and nurses play an integral part between life and death, between trying to save the patient and preserving the option of
organ donation in the patient who cannot be saved.
There are two sources for donor organs. The first source removes organs from recently deceased people. These organs are called cadaveric organs.
A person becomes a cadaveric organ donor by indicating that they would like to be an organ donor when they die. This decision is usually noted
either on a driver's license or on a health care directive. (Ethics of Organ Transplantation, 2004) The second source for donor organs is a living
person. Living donors are often related to the patient, but that is not always the case and certainly does not have to be the case. The one factor that
must occur for cadaveric organ donation to be possible is brain death. Brain death is defined as

Organ And Organ Of Organ Transplantation
Recognized as one of the most gripping medical advances of the century, organ transplantation provides a way of giving the gift of life to patients
with terminal failure of vital organs. Organ transplantation requires the participation of both fellow human beings and of society by donating organs
from deceased or living individuals. The ever increasing rate of organ failure and the inadequate supply of organs have created a significant gap
between organ supply and organ demand. This gap has resulted in extremely lengthy waiting times to receive an organ as well as an increased number
of deaths among those waiting for an organ. These events have raised many ethical, moral and societal issues regarding supply, the methods of organ
allocation and the use of living donors as volunteers including minors. It has also led to the practice of organ sale by entrepreneurs for financial gains
in some parts the world through exploitation of the poor, for the benefit of the wealthy. This paper presents valuable information regarding organ
transplantation while supporting the medical definition of the term "brain death" What is brain death? Physicians and other health care professional
have often accepted that a person is deceased when his or her brain is dead. Although the widespread use of mechanical ventilators and other advanced

Our human body is a very complicated system. It consists of a number of organsand systems that work in coordination with each other continuously and
tirelessly without us even realising it. One of the most sensitive organs in our body, which is the organ that I have chosen to research on for this
summative, the human skin. Even though the skin is only afew millimeters thick, it is the largest organ in the body. It consists of three layers: the
epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, providing a waterproof barrier and creating our skin tone.
The dermis is the middle layer and a subconscious tissue that is made up of fats,and connective tissues. The hypodermis, the deepest layer of the three,
is made up of fats and connective tissues.
The skin belongs to the Integumentary system. The Integumentary system consists of skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands.
Some of functions of the skin are:
1. Protection– The skin protects us from microbes and the elements such as toxins and infections.
2. Body Temperature– Helps balance the body temperature.
3. Sensation– Permits sensation of touch, heat and cold.

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, organ transplantation is the process of surgically transferring a donated
organ into a patient with end–stage organ failure (U.S Dept of health and human services website). End–stage organ failure can be attributed to a
number of diseases. Diseases such as cardiomyopathy, diabetes, hypertension, polycystic kidney disease, as well as a number of others could
potentially result in suffers of these diseases to require an organ transplant.
Though sophisticated in nature, doctors for have actually performed organ transplants over a century, starting first with animal organs and then moving
to human organs. For instance, in 1906, Dr. Mathieu Jaboulay, a French surgeon, treated two suffers of kidney failure by transplanting a goat kidney in
one patient and a pig kidney into the other. While these transplants proved to be unsuccessful, resulting in the demise of both patients, Dr. Jaboulay's
work did lay the foundation for Dr. Yu Yu Voronoy, an Ukraninina surgeron that was the first to use a human kidney for transplantation. Again, these
surgeries were unsuccessful. However, according to Watson and Dark (2012) but they did demonstrate "the deleterioius effect of warm ischeaemia".

Many often feel when a loved one dies it is evil that they are being put through those feelings. Instead of making another person go through that evil,

help erase the pain one feels and bring happiness back into their life. For those who do not believe in organ donation, it is mostly because they believe
in the myths. They don't know any better because they have never been educated on the topic. A view seen by those who disagree with donating
organs is that when someone dies, they are to be let alone to rest and go to eternal life, their next life, or whatever their religious view bring them to.
The mind and body though are separate. The mind which carries everything the person was will leave the body and go to its eternal destination. The
actually body will be buried or incarnated still looking the same so that the traditional funeral events can still take place. When doctors and medical
staff remove organs, they are very cautious about not affecting the look of the person. They replace the bones with rods to maintain the rigidity. They
will use sponges and bandages to hold the shape of the removed muscles and tendons. All to help the donor looking just like they did before the

Organ donations have encountered organ donor and organ supply rejections. Organ donation challenges and demands increase as the organ shortages
increase over the years. Organ donation's mission is to save many terminally ill recipients at the end stages of their lives. The significance of the
organ donation is to give back to restore one's quality of life. The ongoing issues may present an idealistic portrait of how these issues may be
resolved. As a result, the mission of organ donations are to restore organs for their patients and to promote, education, empower altruism and quality

to the humanized process, circulation of illegal revenue, and conceptual grounds needs to be consistent with altruism as the empowered outcome.

solidarity motivation as donor's measures. It differentiates ethical principal amongst altruism and solidarity motivations for organ donations. The first

Money Fails Organ Donors
All over the world, there are people in need of organs such as kidneys. According to the National Kidney Foundation, thirty million American adults
have kidney disease and need kidneys. Without a new kidney, it could lead to death. There are many reasons for humans to donate their organs.
Donating one's organs can save lives as well as give the person a sense of gratitude. There is no age limit on being a donor however the million–dollar
question is should they be paid for it? Being paid for donating organs should be illegal due to all the problems that would arise if they did get paid.
These problems include: the organ being rejected, the possibility of complications during surgery, and donating for the wrong reasons. One may argue
that the number of donations would increase causing the people that need them to decrease. However, the bad out ways the good in this situation.
Gary Becker and Julio Elias state that "In 2012, 95,000 American men, women, and children were on the waiting list for new kidneys, the most
commonly transplanted organ" (222). The number of deaths while waiting for the kidney transplant are extremely high. More people would be
willing to donate knowing there was money involved; however, the chances of the organ rejecting itself is still there. Families paying high dollar for

Organ Donation : Organ Organs
Organ Donation
Organ donation occurs when a failing or damaged organ, is replaced with a new organ, through a surgical operation. The two sources of organs for
donation come from a deceased person and a living person. The organs that are received from a deceased person are called cadaveric organs. A
person can indicate on his or her driver's license if they want to be an organ donor after they die. There are some states that allow for family consent
for organ removal, regardless if the deceased person indicated that, they wanted to be an organ donor after they die. The second source of organ donation
comes from a living person. Living people can donate their organs to family members, close friends, or strangers. There are many non–profit
organizations that promote organ donation to strangers, whom are in critical health situations and need an organ transplant in order to survive. The
problem is that there is a shortage of available organs. The organ donation process presents ethical dilemmas that will be discussed in this essay, as well
as, solutions, alternative solutions and, ultimately, a final solution, that will be evaluated in relation to the ethical problem. To begin, there is a timeline
of historical events significant to organ donation. In 1954 the first successful kidney transplant was performed (Timeline of Events, n.d.). In that
situation, a living donor gave a kidney to his identical twin. Many people were amazed that one twin could save another

Image something tragic has happened to one of your family members. Sounds crazy right! Well what if they need a kidney, liver, or even a heart.
What if they could not afford to get a transplant? What if you or someone else could donate it for them? As of June 21, 2013 there are 118,617 people
waiting on life–saving organ transplant. Organ donation is a noble act, and anyone can do it. Most people that donate are the ones that do it after
death. The reason for this is to help someone that needs the donation. Organ donation promotes a general principle of giving and selflessness; it
would help with medical cost, and can be effective by giving someone a second chance at life. While there are penalty of reasons to donate there is
one reason it is selflessness. Giving someone an organ is a selfless thing that anyone can do. Organ donation is when a donor is living with a
healthy functioning organ, and decides to give it to someone who has a failing organ of their own. Donating can occur when a donor is living, but
certain organs like the heart requires a heart from a person who has died. Organ donation is very important because it can determine if the person
lives or died. You are not thinking of yourself, but of other people future. It is giving life to someone who needs it desperately. It's like you are giving

The Importance Of Organ Donation
Over the past several years, the argument of whether or not compensating donors is ethical and financially benefitting for everyone has been heavily
debated. The interest for life saving organ donation has such little supply that the doctors of waiting patients are so desperate that they believe
compensation is their only option. Enhanced survival rates combined with unfaltering development of signs for transplantation make the organ
deficiency progressively severe; waiting times are now deplorably long. In order to cut the waiting period, compensating donors will promote more
individuals to become donors. Although there are many people who disagree with the idea to compensate donors, people who donate their kidneys
should be compensated because more individuals will be drawn to donate their kidneys in return for monetary value. Additionally, donors should be
compensated because they are giving an organ from their body part away.
Individuals and their families pay for dialysis each year hoping they will be chosen to receive the next available organ they have been longing for.
These individuals often do not think about how they could be paying a donor for a much lower price instead of dialysis which does not guarantee the
organ you desire. The interest for organ donation has reliably surpassed supply, and the large gap between the quantity of recipients on the waiting list
and the quantity of donors has increased. If a larger supply of organs was available to the large

With this in mind, in 1954, Dr. John Murray was able to perform the first successful kidney transplant using the kidney of one identical twin and
transplanting it the other, who went on to live eight years after the surgery. Then, in 1967, Dr. Christian Barnard performed the first heart transplant. In
this case, the recipient only lived eighteen days following the surgery. It must be stated that the demise of the patient was not attributed to the failure of
the new heart. The patient's death was found to be cause be the pneumonia that was contracted by the patient due to his immune system being
suppressed by the anti–rejection drugs he had to take.
While the first organ transplants started with kidneys and the heart, organs such as livers, today's doctors can transplant lungs, pancreas, and intestines.
In addition, bones, skin grafts, tissues such as the cornea, and even veins can now be transplanted in those that so desperately need them. As described

First selling organs could help a family with debt problems. Many families suffer with debt so they could just sell their organs to help. Instead of
taking out a loan and being in debt you could sell an organ and help pay for the thing you wanted to buy. Cars and things like that cost around 30k for

Organ System For Organ Organs
If you could save a life today, would you? That is the question posed in discussing the sale of human organs. There is undoubtedly a need for donor
organs. According to UNOS, every ten minutes a new person is added to the donor waiting list and an average of twenty two people die a day
waiting for an organ they will never receive. UNOS, the United Network for Organ Sharing, is a non–profit organization founded in 1984 that regulates
organ allocation in the United States.The allocation of organs it based on many factors, including availability locally, the medical state of the patient,
and how many people are in need of the same organ. The demand for organs is slowly becoming a national problem with the number of people on the
kidney transplant waiting list alone being over 93,000.(Mysel,2015)
The need for organ donors is at an all–time high with one hundred five thousand people all over the world waiting for an organ donation. However, only
fifteen thousand organ donations occur every year, so what happens to the other ninety thousand people? These other ninety thousand people are
turning to the black market for help. According to the Merriam–Webster, which has been a well–known international dictionary since 1844, the black

In today's world of modern medicine, organ transplants are behind numerous lives being saved every day. Nevertheless, the demand of organs
donations is growing far more than there are organs available for donation. The ability to buy and sell organs is illegal across the globe, and with
this the creation of the black market has emerged. The black market is where people who are rich enough to buy organs go in search for people in
underdeveloped countries with laws that aren't enforced as strictly as developed countries, as well as they are in dire need of money. The kidney was the
biggest demand of the black market, but lately other organs has been in search for as well as human tissue. The demand for kidneys and other
organs is alarmingly higher than the availability. For example, in Western Europe, an estimated "40,000 patients are on waiting list for kidney
transplants; however, it is expected that only 1:4 of the patients will be able to receive the organs they need" (Erin and Harris 137). With the statistics
as these, it is assumed that many patients will die before ever receiving a transplant. The countries across the world have laws that prohibit the act of
buying or selling of organs. In the United States of America, the 1984 National Organ Transplant Act prohibits the sale of human organs by both the

Distributing Organs

  • 1. Distributing Organs Distributing the organs among the patients should be done in an ethical way. Not everyone in need of an organ transplant gets what is needed for him because there is a shortage in organ availability. Actually, there should be a fair distribution plan and everyone should be aware of it. Most likely there are two types of distributive rightness. The first type is called equal access, which means the available organs should be fairly divided among the waited patients no matter the sex or the race, and the waiting time length should be considered. The first on the list be treated first. Another type of distributive justice is called maximum benefit, which means that the doctor give the priority to the patient who "the doctor sees " that he/she will live longer or the transplantation will be successful. It is a way to avoid wasting the organs because they are rare. UNOS encourages the transplant centers in the United States to use those methods in distributive the organs: the medical need, probability of success, and time on the waiting list.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There are many arguments that shows it has no fairness between the patients simply because no one has the ability to determine how long the transplanted patient will live after the surgery. How many years theorgan will function. I believe that the second type is an unethical issue in the distribution because there is no equality between people, and it gives its back to the older people, and not giving them the opportunity to get the organ they are needed for. as a result, they may lose their ...

  • 2. Organ Donation : An Organ Donor According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, every ten minutes a name is added to the National Transplant waiting list. As of December 1, 2015, there are 122,477 people that need a lifesaving operation and are on the transplant waiting list. While on the waiting list, there is an average of 22 people that die every day. So far, only 23,134 transplants have been done in 2015. (U.S. Depart.of Health and Human Services) This incredibly low number of transplants is why more people should become organ donors. Choosing to become an organ donor provides the opportunity to save up to eight lives and improve the quality of life for many others with tissue donation. An organ donor can also provide comfort to the grieving family: the loss of the loved one will be helping others to live. Becoming an organ donor is much easier than many think. The decision can literally be done in just minutes. Web MD states, an organ transplant is the surgical removal of a healthy organ from one person, alive or deceased, and transplanting the organ into another person whose organ is failing. Often an organ transplant is the last effort to save and individuals life. This is why it is so important for individuals to become organ donors. Not all organs in the body are transplantable. (Organ Transplants,16) The most common organs that get transplanted are: heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. Tissue such as bones, corneas, and skin can also be used from organ donors.

  • 3. Organ Trafficking Organ Trafficking Organ trafficking is one of the great issues that is faced by the society today. It is a practice of stealing people's organ through surgery under the influence of drugs or from a dead person, and the organs are normally sold in black market such as China. South Africa, and Russia. WHO has estimated that one–fifth of the 70,000 kidneys that are transplanted every year come from the black market through a widespread organ –trafficking networks. In my opinion, organ trafficking has become an international trade due to several reasons. First of all, an organ trafficking market has created due to remarkably high demand for body parts from all over the world. Many people refuse to donate their organs even after they die has ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... * Every hospital has a tout. In fact, the doctors or nephrologists will often suggest a person that you can contact to get a kidney. They charge up to US$10,000. * The recipients were wealthy clients in India and other countries. Some of them were from Greece, Arab countries, United States and one or two patients from European countries." Opening sentence: Organ trafficking is the practice of stealing people's organs via surgery while they are under the influence of drugs, or once the person is dead, when the organs can be illicitly removed and then used for further purposes such as transplants or sold on the black market such as in China, South Africa, and Russia. Thesis statement: Organ trafficking has become international trade due to several reasons. Topic sentence 1: A remarkably high demand for body parts has created organ trafficking market. But wherever there is demand there is a market. Supporting detail 1: With the advent of organ transplantation more than thirty years ago, the human body has quickly created a demand for replacement parts.

  • 4. Organ Of The Organ System Organ transplantation has been around for about 61 years. The first successful transplantation took place on December 23, 1954 by Dr. Joseph Murray and Dr. David Hume at Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. That transplantation being successful on that day has saved many lives to this day ("Transplantation"). The only legal way to get an organ transplant is through organ donation. In the United States alone, there are about 122,690 people on the waiting list today and only 10,051 donors. Every ten minutes, someone is added to the waiting list and 22 people that are on the waiting list dies everyday ("Organ Procurement"). There have been many debates on the matter of only being able to obtain an organ through donation. Some people believe that there should be a legal market to sell organs. In these debates, people must take other matters into consideration. The sale of organs may have an effect the environment, the different cultures, the economy, ethics, politics, or even science and technology. Weather these effects would be good or bad is up to debate. There have been many debates on the issue of the legalization of the sale of human organs. One person to debate on the issue was Dr. Monti. She put out an elaborate paper on how the sale of human organs would benefit the economy. Jennifer Monti has a medical and master's degree in public health and her research has been published in academic journals. Her other writings have been recognized by the New York Times ...

  • 5. Ceiling For Organs The United States government has set the Price ceiling for the selling of organs at $0, meaning it is illegal to sell organs for a profit. However, many tend to disagree with the law and believe a free market could lead to an efficient distribution for organs. While it is illegal, there are some ways to get the organ you need. For example, Susan Stephens was a woman whose son needed a kidney, but hers was not a match. Susan then realized if she was to donate her kidney to a person in need, her son would go up on the waiting list. The deal went through and Susan was able to save two lives with her offer. After this story came out, many wondered where the line was drawn from legal to illegal. Could people exchange in organ for tuition? Or, could people exchange an organ for a car? ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The average human is born with two kidneys, yet a person only needs one to survive. This fact makes giving a kidney to someone in need common sense. However, most would not volunteer to go under surgery for nothing in return. If the government were to remove the price ceiling for organs, there would be no shortage for kidneys, people who need money would now have a chance making a profit, and people who need a kidney now have a better chance of saving their life. Since people who can afford a kidney could now buy one, people who could not afford one go far up the waiting list so that they would not have to wait several years. Overall, I strongly agree that removing the price ceiling on organs could benefit the person in need of some extra cash and the person whose life depends on a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. The Organ Of Organ Transplantation One of the most significant issues concerning organ transplantation revolves around the just and fair distribution of organs. Due to the assorted and occasionally conflicting opinions of what constitutes as 'fair', in concurrence with a relative shortage of donated organs, many social, legal and ethical contentions have arisen. This shortage is portrayed by statistics shown on the NHS organ donation page, where approximately 10,000 people are on the waiting list for a solid organ transplant and approximately 1,000 people die annually whilst waiting for an organ transplant and in 2013, a record 4,655 patients received a solid organ transplant (National Health Service, 2014). Furthermore, it is important to observe the fact that the organ donor deficit is growing, even factoring in the 50 percent increase in live donations since 2008. This deficit can be attributed to the rate of increase in donated organs falling short of the greater increase in transplant–requiring patients. This can be further illustrated statistically where the number of people requiring organs has increased from approximately 8,700 to approximately 10,000 between 2005 and 2013 (National Health Service, 2014). There are a myriad of contributing factors that can be held responsible for the rise in required organs, including the prevalence of diseases inflicted through lifestyle choices i.e. obesity and smoking, as well as improved medical science resulting in an aging population. Additionally, there are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Organ Of Organ And Tissue Donation Organ and tissue donation can be defined as the removal of organs and tissues from either a living donor 's body or body of a patient who has recently died and transplanting the anatomical gifts into the body of the recipient (Frey and Waun n.p.). Donation has continuously verified itself in the science world as an exemplary form of medical treatment. Based on the advancements in donation over the years, one can expect further amendments to be made to the life–saving treatment in such high demand today. Various circumstances, such as an increase in obesity and life expectancy, have become primitive factors in determining the demand for organs. The ever–growing need for transplantable organs increases daily, which in turn is accountable for... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Two discoveries that have aided in solving this factor are tissue typing and Jean Borrel 's discovery of cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant drug which prevents the immune system from attacking the new organ (Corr n.p.). With organ donation steadily increasing in success, more patients are added to the waiting list every day in hopes of receiving a surgery that will save their lives. The practice of organ and tissue donation requires regulation and legislation to ensure the rights of the donor and recipient are protected throughout the entire process. Because of the scarcity of human organs in the United States, the government created the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA) in 1968 to standardize the distribution of organs throughout the country ("Organ Donation"). Prior to the UAGA of 1968, there were no federal laws concerning donation, and donations were conducted at the state level ("Organ Donation"). The UAGA of 1968 proved to be efficient in the distribution of organs, but the system needed modifications to meet the high demands of transplants. The original UAGA lacked policies regarding the ethical issues that arise when in the donation process. After being revised in 1972 and once again in 1987, the UAGA added new policies to further improve donation in the United States. The new policies explicitly prohibited the selling of human organs, honored the descendant 's wishes over the family ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Organ Donation For Organ Transplants INTRODUCTION Organ donation is one of the most pressing health policy issues for our government to deal with and organ donation rates in England must increase in order to meet the demand for organs on waiting lists. Furthermore, the demand for surgical procedures such as organ transplantation has rapidly increased after scientific breakthroughs in transplant technologies as well as the advent of new medicines to reduce many problems associated with transplants, thereby increasing the life expectancy of people receiving the transplant. With more than 7000 to 8000 people on the waiting list in England alone, on the waiting list for an organ transplant and only an estimated 2,800 organs that are transplanted each year (NHSBT 2016), there is a significant shortage of organs available for transplant. There is an increasing concern that the current system for organ donation in England, is failing to meet the demand in organs needed for transplantation. The number of people needing transplants is going up steadily by about 8 percent each year.(b) The number of premature deaths has also increased to approximately 1000 (Rieu. 2010) every year and this is conceivably the most tragic reminder that the current system is failing us. To combat this problem, many health researchers have suggested changes to change the organ donation laws, from informed consent to presumed consent.

  • 9. Compensation For Organs Compensation to Donors for Organs The sale of human organs in return for compensation is a very controversial topic. It is also illegal in most countries; however, it is not uncommon for organs of the deceased or living to be sold on what is known as a "black market" of organ trading/selling. Curdling Ireland stated "Is a global market for organ sales the answer? Can a for–profit system exist, save lives, and still not exploit the poor?" (Harvard Gazette, 2008) this is a question that has been brought to the highest judicial system in many countries to be discussed further. The courts focus on the immoral and ethical issues with making the sale organs legal in their countries. This results in the illegal practice of selling organs for compensation. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This would not only reduce the amount of deaths each year of individuals who are on the waiting list for an organ transplant, it would also increase the amount of donors who would be willing to under such a invasive surgery because they will be compensated for their generosity. The most common way that a patient on the organ transplant list receives their organ is from a deceased individual who has agreed to donating their organs before their death, or the family or spouse has agreed to donate the organs of the deceased individual on their behalf. These facts are convincing and has the reader pondering the thought "why do donors not receive compensation?" There are many individuals who believe that there should continue to be absolutely no compensation to individuals who are willing to donate an organ. The topic of exploiting the poor who would justify selling one if not two organs in order to be compensated because they are struggling financially is an argument that is discussed time and time again. This dilemma has resulted in what is known as the black market sale of organs, donors and patients are what make up the black market.

The strange thing is people and scientist are beginning to think that possible memories are stored in these organs.

Resulting in a shortage of organs for transplants, reducing the amount of lives that have the potential to be saved or enhanced to have better living conditions. Thus causing this issue to be looked at on a more serious note, and seek options to increase organ transplant rates. With this issue on the rise one incentive that is being debated is whether organ donors should receive compensation.

Although allowing the market to freely determine the price of human organs in the market economy, there are reasons in favor of regulation in which would enable authorities to monitor developments and react accordingly when the time is needed.

However, do people mourn the loss of another life if the individual is not an organ donor? The National Kidney Foundation believes that "legalizing payments of human organs" should continue to be opposed, as codified in the third title of the National Organ Transplant Act. (National Kidney Foundation 220). If this title is changed, then there will be multiple unexpected side effects that could corrupt the system of organ donation to people who need the organs. What exactly would define the price of saving a life? Who is paying the cost of the organ? Many things could backlash from the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Organ receivers around the country would have to have the money to pay for the organ before having the procedure done. These issues could ultimately affect all economically disadvantaged people in need of organs. The cost of a kidney is easily in the range of thousands to hundred–thousands of dollars. Being paid to donate an organ would include monetary rewards, free or cheaper insurance, or a lower cost of taxes. This may highly appeal to people with lower incomes, or the economically disadvantaged. These statements were released by the National Kidney Foundation: Offering money for organs can be viewed as an attempt to coerce economically disadvantaged Americans to participate in organ donation. Furthermore, since the economically disadvantaged have been shown to be less likely to be organ transplant candidates, financial incentives for organ donation could be characterized as exploitation (National Kidney Foundation 221). This contingency comes to state that the financially disadvantaged are proven to be less likely to donate. Therefore, financial compensation may pressure some people into donating organs despite the health risks. Financial compensation may argue against itself.

Not receiving one means they have about five years to live, at most. Though, they are hopeful because they have been placed on the organ donor waitlist. They go on dialysis and the wait beings. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and months into years. According to the Kidney Organization, the average wait time for a kidney is about 3–5 years.

Though, it should be the standard that an individual is presumed to be an organ donor unless they opt–out at some point prior to their death. An approach that was successfully implemented in Spain. Also, in 1989, the Spanish created the Organization for National Transplantation (ONT), which places trained administrators in hospitals to not only be able to identify organ donors but spend time with families to increase the likelihood of consent for the deceased. Spain's model allows for families to be asked to confirm that their loved one's did not opt–out at some point prior to their death. Therefore, if they refuse then their decision will be respected. Their model has decreased family refusals from 40–70% in the 1990's to approximately 15% in 2006. As it currently stands, many countries around the globe, including the United States, have the contrary. One is presumed to not want to donate their organs unless an individual registers for organ donation. This feels quite antiquated and we should be following in Spain's footsteps to change to a presumed consent system, which also ultimately allows one's family to have veto power. This would not only be a step in the right direction, because as proven, individuals and families would be more willing to consent and could possibly help reduce the donor shortage in the United States, and across the ...

Miss McKay believes that regulating organ sales is not just a safer way for organ transplant but believes it is a moral and ethical duty to help those in need and secure a safe way to see that happens. "Is it moral to sentence thousands to unnecessary deaths?"(96) McKay believes it is immoral. This writer completely agrees. Over the years, kidney transplants have become much safer and easier to perform due to medical advances and new medications on the market and the risk for the donor and the recipient is very low. A person should have the right to do what they want with their own body, especially when it comes to matters of life and death. Selling a kidney to help one financially, as well as helping another person live a longer and fuller life is ethically correct. If a person can sell blood, sperm, and even pregnant women who are either surrogates or giving up their baby to a childless couple, have their entire medical and lifestyle needs paid for by the adopting parents, then why cannot similar rules be made for organs sales? Tens of thousands of lives could be saved if countries change their laws. Imagine what a true and wonderful difference in the lives of these people could be made.

Different countries have different systems to organize organ donation. These systems are known as either "opt out" or "opt in". The United States is currently under an "opt in" system which basically means that we assume that everyone does not wish to become an organ donor, unless is it made clear in their lifetime. An "opt out" system is one in which we assume that everyone wishes to become an organ donor after death, otherwise made explicitly known during lifetime. It is proposed that the solution to the organ shortage crisis in the United states is to adopt the opt out system. This system makes more sense because if a person is so passionate about not being a donor, they will voice that while they are living. Our current system does not encourage people to actually take the time to make a decision about being an organ donor or not. Instead, the system we currently have allows people to stay uninformed about decisions that could in the end give someone else a shot at living their life.

  • 22. Organ Donation For An Organ Transplant According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services 18 people die each day waiting for an organ transplant. They also state that one organ donor can save up to eight lives. Those are significant numbers that should make us very much aware of the monumental impact organ donation can have on the lives of so many critically ill patients and their families. Although the tragedy of an accident or horrifying event is sometimes unbearable for the patient and the patient's family, it may result in what some may call a "new hope" for those who are awaiting organ transplantation. Emergency department doctors and nurses play an integral part between life and death, between trying to save the patient and preserving the option of organ donation in the patient who cannot be saved. There are two sources for donor organs. The first source removes organs from recently deceased people. These organs are called cadaveric organs. A person becomes a cadaveric organ donor by indicating that they would like to be an organ donor when they die. This decision is usually noted either on a driver's license or on a health care directive. (Ethics of Organ Transplantation, 2004) The second source for donor organs is a living person. Living donors are often related to the patient, but that is not always the case and certainly does not have to be the case.

Organ And Organ Of Organ Transplantation Recognized as one of the most gripping medical advances of the century, organ transplantation provides a way of giving the gift of life to patients with terminal failure of vital organs. Organ transplantation requires the participation of both fellow human beings and of society by donating organs from deceased or living individuals. The ever increasing rate of organ failure and the inadequate supply of organs have created a significant gap between organ supply and organ demand. This gap has resulted in extremely lengthy waiting times to receive an organ as well as an increased number of deaths among those waiting for an organ. These events have raised many ethical, moral and societal issues regarding supply, the methods of organ allocation and the use of living donors as volunteers including minors. It has also led to the practice of organ sale by entrepreneurs for financial gains in some parts the world through exploitation of the poor, for the benefit of the wealthy.

There is no age limit on being a donor however the million–dollar question is should they be paid for it? Being paid for donating organs should be illegal due to all the problems that would arise if they did get paid. These problems include: the organ being rejected, the possibility of complications during surgery, and donating for the wrong reasons. One may argue that the number of donations would increase causing the people that need them to decrease. However, the bad out ways the good in this situation.

The two sources of organs for donation come from a deceased person and a living person. The organs that are received from a deceased person are called cadaveric organs. A person can indicate on his or her driver's license if they want to be an organ donor after they die. There are some states that allow for family consent for organ removal, regardless if the deceased person indicated that, they wanted to be an organ donor after they die. The second source of organ donation comes from a living person. Living people can donate their organs to family members, close friends, or strangers. There are many non–profit organizations that promote organ donation to strangers, whom are in critical health situations and need an organ transplant in order to survive. The problem is that there is a shortage of available organs.

As of June 21, 2013 there are 118,617 people waiting on life–saving organ transplant. Organ donation is a noble act, and anyone can do it. Most people that donate are the ones that do it after death.

  • 35. The Importance Of Organ Donation Over the past several years, the argument of whether or not compensating donors is ethical and financially benefitting for everyone has been heavily debated. The interest for life saving organ donation has such little supply that the doctors of waiting patients are so desperate that they believe compensation is their only option. Enhanced survival rates combined with unfaltering development of signs for transplantation make the organ deficiency progressively severe; waiting times are now deplorably long. In order to cut the waiting period, compensating donors will promote more individuals to become donors. Although there are many people who disagree with the idea to compensate donors, people who donate their kidneys should be compensated because more individuals will be drawn to donate their kidneys in return for monetary value. Additionally, donors should be compensated because they are giving an organ from their body part away. Individuals and their families pay for dialysis each year hoping they will be chosen to receive the next available organ they have been longing for. These individuals often do not think about how they could be paying a donor for a much lower price instead of dialysis which does not guarantee the organ you desire.

  • 40. Organ System For Organ Organs If you could save a life today, would you? That is the question posed in discussing the sale of human organs. There is undoubtedly a need for donor organs. According to UNOS, every ten minutes a new person is added to the donor waiting list and an average of twenty two people die a day waiting for an organ they will never receive. UNOS, the United Network for Organ Sharing, is a non–profit organization founded in 1984 that regulates organ allocation in the United States.The allocation of organs it based on many factors, including availability locally, the medical state of the patient, and how many people are in need of the same organ. The demand for organs is slowly becoming a national problem with the number of people on the kidney transplant waiting list alone being over 93,000.(Mysel,2015) The need for organ donors is at an all–time high with one hundred five thousand people all over the world waiting for an organ donation. However, only fifteen thousand organ donations occur every year, so what happens to the other ninety thousand people? These other ninety thousand people are turning to the black market for help. According to the Merriam–Webster, which has been a well–known international dictionary since 1844, the black market is defined as "a system through which things are bought and sold illegally."

  • 41. Organ Donation In today's world of modern medicine, organ transplants are behind numerous lives being saved every day. Nevertheless, the demand of organs donations is growing far more than there are organs available for donation. The ability to buy and sell organs is illegal across the globe, and with this the creation of the black market has emerged. The black market is where people who are rich enough to buy organs go in search for people in underdeveloped countries with laws that aren't enforced as strictly as developed countries, as well as they are in dire need of money. The kidney was the biggest demand of the black market, but lately other organs has been in search for as well as human tissue. The demand for kidneys and other organs is alarmingly higher than the availability. For example, in Western Europe, an estimated "40,000 patients are on waiting list for kidney transplants; however, it is expected that only 1:4 of the patients will be able to receive the organs they need" (Erin and Harris 137). With the statistics as these, it is assumed that many patients will die before ever receiving a transplant. The countries across the world have laws that prohibit the act of buying or selling of organs. In the United States of America, the 1984 National Organ Transplant Act prohibits the sale of human organs by both the livings donors and by the families of deceased is one example of these laws (Weekes n. p.).

The cornea is the most commonly transplanted tissues in fact, more than four hundred thousand corneal transplants occur in the United States a year. Organ recipients are selected with basic information starting with medical needs, location and compatibility.
