The author thought that this article would be of interest because it is rare for someone to donate a kidney to a stranger, it is even rarer for someone to be willing to donate both of their kidneys to strangers, 15 million dollars in cash donations to charity, and another 6.2 million of property donations. Zell Kravinsky is a unique case of selfnesses with his concern for the welfare of others. (Storm, 2003) The main ethical issue being discussed with the Storm article is whose life is more…

Nowadays, many liver transplant operations take place in the world because they can save patients’ lives. Unfortunately, the waiting times for liver transplants are long. In the United States, for instance, according to University of California San Francisco Medical Center, "there are over 17,000 patients on the liver waiting list, but only enough donated livers to perform about 5,000 transplants per year." (1) Many patients may die while they are still on these waiting lists. Thus, these…

There is a great deal of speculation of whether or not organ selling should be legal. Stephen Wilkinson states that organ sale is the selling of organs to give to another person, in the hopes of getting a paycheck. There are two ways to do this: paying people money for their body after they pass or to pay the patient’s family for their deceased loved ones’ organs (Wilkinson 2011). The United States has already developed a way to aid those who need organs receive a healthy one through a process…

Argument #1 Over 1600 Canadians are added to the organ waiting list each year, many have a happy ending but many more don't. Because the…

Organ donation is a very good thing in my opinion. Obviously from the stories that this website gives us are very powerful. A donation changed many people’s lives, like the veteran, or Brooklyn or anyone who has gotten a donor. I’m sure that their lives have changed for the better and that they are very appreciative of the donors. Obviously a lot of people have donated, according to the video, the US had more than 30,000 donors. Keep in mind that it has never been over 30,000 before so it is a…

While everyone should be able to get a second chance at life if they are able to, the amount of organs available for transplants are limited. With that being said, what if alcoholism is the cause of their situation, or what about an 85 year old retired priest? Do they deserve to get a second chance?

Question 1): a) In the Ted Talk video, what did Singer say about having two kidneys? Do you think that comparison was strong or weak? He told the audience a story about a letter he received from Chris Croy, saying that he gave away one of his kidneys, to someone in need. This had then started a chain reaction which enabled four people to obtain kidneys. Singer then went on to speak about how he still has two kidneys, because he himself has never donated his organs before. However, Singer then…

Organ donation after death should be encouraged There are people dying out every day. In China, we can find that in 2016, there were 9.77 million people died (National Bureau of statistics of the People’s Republic of China). If we do some calculation, we will find that there were over 18 people died per minute. Some of them were died because of accidents, some of them died because their own disease.
