The little card that makes it possible to let someone drive a car on the road tells more than just personal information but the decisions and let doctors and surgeons use the body for science or use to save a life. What this is all about is the heart that is on a license. At the DMV they asked to be an organ donor. What is an organ donor? It is whenever the driver dies they are allowing use of the organs for science and helping someone have the chance to live. Nearly 70 Percent of the population is an organ donor. When we think about it “yeah” “I’ll do it” people say it is legal now to give an organ to a family member but no one else.
What if the patient sells the organ for a certain price? Then turns out 20 year later they need that organ. …show more content…
But if the donor ends up needing their kidney back they would have to buy one or possibly get one at a discount since they did sell one to help save a life. Receiving an organ should be as simple as it is to sell one. Another downfall could be finding a good doctor to actually perform the surgeries and have a successful outcome for everyone involved. People that are all for selling a kidney for some cold hard cash may not be looking at the bigger picture, a lot of times all they see is that money that they will get. They are not looking at the down time and lost money due to being out of work and going to doctor appointments and making sure their body is adjusting to the change correctly. As simple as it sounds giving up a kidney is a lot more than just having a surgery and being done with it. Legalizing organ selling would help add to the donation list when it is combined with the organs coming from the organ donors that have passed would make the donor list larger since there are more organs coming in. This could potentially save more lives. Also it would get rid of the illegal selling on the black market which could be very risky considering that the buyer does not know who or where said kidney is coming from. Which in the end, it could cause more harm than good
