Allotransplantation is a successful treatment that could take the place of xenotransplantation, but if xenotransplantation is successful it could eliminate the need for organ waiting lists (“Information on”). Xeotransplantation is very expensive, which could cost roughly 300,000 dollars per operation. Some hidden costs would be for breeding, housing, feeding, testing, and transporting waste and remains from both animals and humans. Campaign for Responsible Transplantation Health and Human…

Over 120,000 people in the United States are currently on the waiting list for a lifesaving organ transplant. Scientific researched has attempted to solve this dispute, unfortunately, the ethical views of society today have held us back from any scientific progression. On February 27, 2003, Congress approved a ban on reproductive cloning; stopping any hope of scientists saving our world from disease and tragic death. Restrictions on medical research are detrimental and unacceptable to the…

According to Utilitarian theory, the action sell a kidney is morally right if the consequences generate the maximum of good for the greatest number. A utilitarian may analyze that selling organ for a financial incentive as an acceptable act, since several people would benefit from it. For example, Ruth Sparrow would be able to pay her medical bills, the recipient would receive a kidney thus eliminating the need for dialysis, and those under the recipient on the transplant waiting list would move…

The milestone of the first ever successful organ transplantation in the world was established by surgeon Dr. Joseph Murray in 1954. Such medical achievement led the world into a new era where organs can be used for people other than the host; not only did the accomplishment open up the possibilities for saving more lives, it also unlocked the secrets of human bodies’ immune system. Although the first organ transplantation successfully performed in the U.S. might have received different reactions…

illicit trafficking of human organs. I will look at the organ transplantation system in Canada and India. At the same time, I will compare the two countries and examine the laws that existed to punish illegal trafficking groups from luring innocent poor donors into the organ trade. Globalization and the field of transplantation “[have] created an alarming new market for illicit trafficking of human organs.” The research question that I will be examining is: whether or not organ trade is…

Findings An artificial Organ is a man-made creation that is implanted within a person in order to sustain/improve a failing organ and can come as a kind of temporary life support while waiting on the transplant list. In some cases, artificial organs can eliminate the need for transplantation altogether however there are many benefits and costs to artificial organs which prevents this. Other artificial organs such as prosthetic limbs and cochlear implants, which are for those in no need of…

a statistic that backed up organ legalization as far as how many lives would be saved per year, would it be immoral for a person to be in approval of legalization? Miriam Schulman, the director of Markkula for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, who wrote Kidneys for Sale: A Reconsideration, believes it goes far beyond saving lives. Anthony Gregory, a research fellow and student programs director at the Independent Institute, and the author of Why Legalizing Organ Sales Would Help Save…
