Should the Death Penalty Still be Legal? Origins of the death penalty span all the way back to the time of Hammurabi about three and a half millennia ago. “In the 18th Century BC, the Code of King Hammurabi of Babylon codified the death penalty for twenty five different crimes” (Reggio, PBS.org). Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, the reasons that justified these so called “inhumane” punishments, was the reason that surpassed all others, logic. The death penalty was archaically considered the…

you want justice for the world crushing, life-altering pain that someone caused you and your family? The death penalty should be made legal in the United States because it allows for justice to be given to those people who have committed vigorous crimes and most importantly, it decreases the chances of overcrowding in prisons, where dangerous criminals could potentially be let free.

She points out that thousands suffer from kidney disease that has no known cure leaving patients to suffer the only treatment; costly dialysis for years and years, in which they will have to endure, until a kidney transplant becomes available. Cadaverous kidney transplants are usually from the old and the sick and do not last nearly as long as a live kidney donation. Accidents are another major source for a live donation. Most countries have laws forbidding organ sales, which make the odds of…

and physicians. The article Organ Donation after Circulatory Death, the authors highlight the ethical dilemmas of organ donation due to “non-heart beating” death. In such cases the patient must die within 60 minutes after being removed from life support to be eligible for organ donation.

That staggering number is continuously on the rise because of new diseases and, simply put, because there are just not enough organ donors to keep up with the demand for saving lives. In recent years, scientists have been working on discovering how to create a perfectly matched organ for its recipient in an effort to decrease the organ rejection rate. By decreasing the rejection rate,…

available for donation can be very challenging. This has caused some to theorise about the possibility of organ conscription after death. In this essay, I will be critically assessing the statement `the needs of the living outweigh the wishes of the dead; so organs should be conscripted after death’. I will begin by clarifying what I mean by the terms organ conscription and death, and what the parameters around donation are. I will then examine what is meant by the needs of the living, and the…
