Xenotransplantation is the transplanting of animal organs into humans. Because of the decreasing numbers of organs available Xenotransplantation is becoming a new “option.” Pigs are most often used because their
In Joanna MacKay's article, 'Organ Selling Will Save Lives", sides with the legalization of organ selling, due to her main focus she emphasizes on kidney failure. In ignorance of government, patients all over the globe are dying on the wait for a kidney transplant. She presents her ideas that government should not prohibit the sale of organs. She writes "lives shouldn’t be wasted they should be saved". Her thesis is understandable and she supports it with good reasons.
Kristopher Boesen So, I’m going to be talking about something related to a topic I heard sir talking about and that’s stem cell therapy, I’m not going to talk about how it works and all that though instead I’m going to talk about something that I read that has to do with stem cell therapy. I’m going to give a short summary about a guy named Kristopher Boesen. So, on March 6th just a little away from Kris’s 21st birthday he was out driving in the rain when he suffered a serious injury to his cervical spine when his car fishtailed on the wet road then hit a tree and then slammed into a telephone pole. Once Kris arrived at the hospital and doctors stabilized him then ran X-Rays and tests on him and they found out and informed his parents that

First there is disenfranchisement, then destruction of their entire livelihoods leading to impoverishment, followed by incarceration without edible food or drinkable water and finally, there is extermination.
An Illegal but Helpful Alternative The illegal market of human organs is a helpful and life-saving alternative for many patients seeking an organ they need to replace. For many patients in need of an organ, time and money are always a nuisance. In many occasions, patients would spend their life-savings in dialysis treatments and their time in the organ transplant waiting list, only to have no benefit at all. The illegal organ market can decrease the time patients spend in the waiting list, the price of organ transplants outweighs the price of dialysis treatment in multiple months, and it would help donors who are struggling economically.
Assignment 1 The thought of an “organ market” is often one greeted with moral disgust and outrage. So much so that the idea of a self-regulated organ selling market is banned in nearly all civilized societies that perform organ transplants. But would an organ market truly be such an immoral thing? This paper will explore that question and attempt to show that it an organ market would not only be moral, but beneficial to society as a whole. People are born every day with incurable diseases or genetic abnormalities that will eventually require them to receive an organ transplant.
Xenotransplantation has the potential to save the multitude of people who are waiting for human organ donors. The definition of xenotransplantation is the transfer of organs, tissues, and/or living cells from another species, typically an animal, to another, such as a human being. The prefix ‘xeno’ means other or different while transplantation refers to the transfer of an organ or tissue. The controversial idea of using animal organs for humans has been studied for many decades but the major advances seem to have been made just in the last decade. The actual, successful operations have not been performed until recently since now people are opting to try out a pig heart rather than die waiting on a list for a human organ donor.
The burden lies on those who oppose specific measures to increase the supply of organs to produce satisfactory arguments that favor their opinion. Supply of organs remains the most persistent problem in the field of organ transplantation. National Organ Transplantation Act, the leading legislation governing organ transplantation in the United States of America, established a national system for identification and equitable distribution of transplantable organs on the basis of medical need. Though it provides for explicit criteria, it remains necessary to evaluate each patient for suitability.
The existing demand for human organs available for transplantation far exceeds the available supply. There is currently a substantial increase in the number of patients on the transplant waiting list as well as in the number of patients that perish as a result of the inability to receive a necessary transplantation. The current levels of organ transplantation in the United States are not sustainable and alternative options towards ameliorating the current shortage of organ donors are desperately needed although many ethical concerns could be generated. Solutions towards the improvement in organ availability such as the use of live organ donors, foreign transplantations, financial incentives, and improvements towards recruitment methods will
Kevorkian (2009) asserted that there are five to six thousand people die every year waiting for organs, but nobody worries. Experiencing this instance creates a great impact on the country’s economic status. This situation is where the organ trade emanated from. Organ trade is the substitution of human organs with money for the aim of transplantation. To place it plainly, it is the buying and marketing of human organs.
Ronald Faison Eng-106 February 20, 2018 Professor MaryBeth Nipp Definition Argument Essay The selling of human organs under U.S law is illegal for many reasons. By having bids on life or death situations can have a negative effect on people with low to no income waiting for an organ. The only lawful procedure for someone to receive an organ transplant as of now is to be placed on a waiting list. Human organs that are sold is considered human trafficking because it is the process of selling or transferring human tissue by force (National Institute of Justice, 2007).
One reason there’s a shortage of transplantable kidneys is that living donors are not always able to give their kidneys to person they want to because of biological reasons; loved ones for example. Kidney exchange implemented worldwide would provide an opportunity for exchange to occur. Finally, in regard to tackling black market issues legal avenues could be sought. For example, laws could be enacted that would hold doctors accountable for not reporting suspected organ trafficking. Currently, doctors would be violating doctor-patient privilege, their legal obligation to the patient is superseded by public interest in ending alleged medical violations of human rights.
