Organ Donation Arguments

I think that making the process shorter would make it more tolerable for potential donors. I suppose to be an organ donor you cannot have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, as these factors can cause damage to the organs that will be donated, which may be hard for some people. I need to learn about any issues organ donating may cause for the government. I would research if organ donning could be considered an unethical process and cause friction between the government and the public. I also need to look at the economic effects of the transplant operations.

The government is saying that physicians are role models and should be viewed as people who save lives, not people who take life away. Opponents contend that physician-assisted suicide undermines doctors’ roles in society. According to American Medical Association, “Allowing physicians to participate in assisted suicide would cause more harm than good” (Fuller). The community looks up to doctors, especially the sickly elders. They might be influenced to seek help in easing their suffering.

Sentence Outline Reconsideration of the Sale of Kidney Organ for Transplant Purposes Thesis: Although a number of people believe that the sale of kidney organ for transplantation is acceptable, the researchers still believe that it is improper taking into consideration religious, ethical, political and practical concerns and principles. Introduction: Kidney organ sale is the trade involving the inner human organ (kidneys) for organ transplantation and profit. The problem with the sale of human organs is the widespread of illegal trafficking and the health risks on the donor and the recipient. Kidney organ sale is improper taking into consideration religious, ethical, political and practical concerns and principles, although a number

Euthanasia, meaning ‘gentle, easy death’, is known as the act of ending somebody’s life painlessly in order to relieve suffering. This is a common topic for debate, with many arguments about whether it is morally wrong to end somebody’s life in the circumstances of extreme illness. People such as Joseph Fletcher, founder of Situation Ethics, may suggest that euthanasia may be the most loving thing in certain situations, and is therefore morally right. However, other people, such as Aquinas, founder of Natural Moral Law, would disagree, stating that it goes against the precept of preserving life, and is therefore morally wrong, no matter the situation. Although there are some situations in which euthanasia could be exploited, my thesis will argue that it is not always morally wrong to end someone’s life in the circumstances in which euthanasia would be contemplated.

She provides us with the government granting its citizens to right of education. As a result, she states that “the performance of American students is nearly the worst in the industrialized world. With SAT scores plunging so much that that the test was revised to bring the scores back up.” According to Orient, the United States system is progressing more towards a fascist system in medical realm. While she agrees that the system needs reform, she disagrees with the process that many believe is necessary to fix the problem.

By keeping a patient who is in a vegetative state alive, thousands of dollars in medical bills are piling up that will become stressful for the patient’s family to pay off (Coster 16). The medicine required for euthanasia on average cost less than fifty dollars, whereas medical care can cost over a thousand times more (Coster 21). If a patient has written their request for euthanasia in their living will, then they should be granted their wishes and rights. In contrast, opponents of euthanasia argue that doctors should not practice euthanasia, even if the patient has requested it through their living will. Opponents claim that a healthy person cannot fathom how they would feel on their deathbed

A case where the ulcer treatment market was satisfied finding treatment for the symptoms of the disease rather than unraveling the source was proven wrong by Barry Marshal. The researchers argued that bacteria cannot survive in the stomach, but Barry proved them wrong by finding the root of the problem and solving it. He isolated the bacteria and swallowed it and was later diagnosed with the disease and this led to the researchers accepting that the gut bacteria have enormous implications on an individual 's health (Levitt, Dubner and Kobbe 36-46).The chapter discourages against gravitating towards the most obvious and the nearest solutions to a problem and encourages most people to be original thinkers when trying to solve difficulties in life. Most people especially students, like having the easy way out in solutions to problems and fail to engage their minds in coming up with solutions and this leads to lack of innovative thoughts as most of them rely on what has already been

  Despite these beliefs of the physician, patients are left feeling discriminated against and feel unworthy of healthcare.  Physicians go into this career to care for patients and they should go into this career willing to take care of patients of other gender identities, race, and other religious beliefs other than their own.

In his essay “Yes, Lets Pay for Organs”, Charles Krauthammer talks about the moral and ethical boundaries of paying for organs (kidneys). Krauthammer claims that organs should be harvested only from the dead and not the living because only dead people can be considered commodities. In his essay, Krauthammer states that there is shortage of organs, which can be reduced if organs are harvested from both the living and the dead. In his essay, Krauthammer says, “There is a distinction between strip-mining a live person and strip-mining a dead one.

It’s very important to know as much a possible about xenotransplantation before you make a decision about your thoughts on it. Because animal organs are not made for humans, the dangers of xenotransplantation for major organs clearly outweighs the benefits. The medical history of xenotransplantation is something people need to take into consideration before agreeing with it. How can you overlook something so important

One legal hurdle is privacy. “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” (Penn, 2009, p. 35). The nationalized health systems will expose patients to the risk of lost privacy. Once a nationalized health system fully exists and there one centralized medical record, privacy becomes a major issue partially because of technology.

It is believed that once practicing physician-assisted suicides becomes an acceptable concept in society, the next steps will easily be taken toward unethical actions such as involuntary euthanasia. Edmund D. Pellegrino, MD, Professor Emeritus of Medicine and Medical Ethics at Georgetown University claims that our healthcare system is too obsessed with costs and principles of utility. He defies the belief that the slippery slope effect is no more than a prediction, by reminding the outlooks and inclinations of our society. Furthermore, he believes there comes a day that incompetent patients and those in coma won’t be asked for their permission to use euthanasia. The Netherlands is another example of such misuse.

I think it’s wrong for the government to penalize physicians for not meeting compliance standards. However, It’s a great opportunity for the government to aim at small practices because this is where physicians are self-employed. These types of physicians have numerous clinic or health care facilities and are most likely to commit fraud. This seems kind of biased, but it’s true. According to, Ornstein, the most common sanctions are against physicians who have odd Medicare billing reputations (2014, title).

People against his research would say that he had no right to say these things because the people that he would single out in his articles were pioneers and were working before standards were set for human research (Rothman, 1991). This exactly states the problem as to what bioethicists and Beecher were trying to fix, which was the lack of thought and care for putting a human being through potential pain and torture without their knowledge and consent. Researchers will no longer be allowed to be the martyrs of thousands of innocent people in the name of unethical and non consensual scientific experimentation (Rothman,

Some people are against organ donation in this world because there’s people waiting for a transplant. A man kills his wife, equalled up to fifteen stabs (Schlessinger). Then, he was rushed to the hospital to get a transplant because he tried to commit suicide by drinking rat poison (Schlessinger). Passing two thousand people on the New York transplant list and gets an organ before anyone else on the waiting list (Schlessinger). That whole situation is that he should’ve been at the end of the waiting list and waited like everyone else had to, but in my mind is that they only cared if he was gonna die or live.
