Organ donations are very common all around the world. What many people do not think about is the fact that many people around the world die due to not receiving the organs they need to survive. Organ procurement is such a controversial topic because society either agrees that this is what is best for the country or they agree with human rights after death. Organ procurement is such an amazing idea that fight for saving lives, soul harvesting, and mutant diseases.
A study conducted at the University of Chicago by Alberto Abadie and Sebastien Gay, over organ transplantation systems, came to the conclusion that about eighteen people die a day due to the failure of receiving organs. That is eighteen lives that could be saved by healthy organs of a deceased person!
Farrell, Price, and Quigley have argued that the “number of heart-beating donors have reduced as a result of fewer young people dying …show more content…
Presumed consent helps match the donor and recipient better to make sure that the operation will go as planned (Glaser 21). Cases reported from Argentina and Russia, have said that organs have been removed from “comatose patients who were prematurely declared brain-dead” (Glaser 21). Presumed consent should be legal because it can increase the supply of organs.
Another good fact of presumed consent is that there would be a decrease in health costs for the government (Glaser 21). Kidney dialysis is very common in the United States which means that there is a lot of money spent on the federally funded dialysis program. A kidney transplant and the whole treatment after is so much less money than what is spent on kidney dialysis for a whole year (Glaser 21). If kidney transplant continues to grow and become common, the yearly cost for dialysis would go decrease and we would have less and fewer patients on dialysis (Glaser
