organ donors. My goal with this essay is to make everyone aware of the number of people who await an organ transplant and how allowing inmates to donate could relieve some of this burden. I believe inmates should be allowed to donate their organs, if they wish to be an organ donor. Each day, in the United States, there are thousands and thousands of people waiting for an organ transplant. A death row inmate who decides, upon his execution, to be an organ donor can save up to 8 lives with his…

270 people died while being on the kidney transplant list; those 4,270 do not include the 3,617 people who were also on the wait list who became too ill to receive a kidney. Even though 17,000 kidneys were donated in 2014, 12 people continue to die every day due to the shortage of organ availability through organ donation (The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) and Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) Annual Report,…

This has not stopped desperate patients seeking transplants to replace their failing organs with healthy ones from either willing donors or from forced donation. Many times that transplants are performed the patients don’t know where the organs come from or how the organs were acquired. I would have to imagine this “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy suits most recipients just fine. The illicit underground organ transplant market brings up strong ethical and moral issues as well. There…

an organ, they cannot afford one on the black market as they sell the organs for an extremely high price compared to what the broker had paid the poor person for their organs. Iran addresses this important issue by having 302 dialysis units, 25 transplant…

According to the American Transplant Foundation(1), "more than 123,000 men, women and children are currently in need of lifesaving organ transplants. Each day, an average of 75 people will receive an organ transplant. Sadly, an average 21 people will die in result of not receiving an organ in time." Among those 123,000 men, women, and children there is an expanding amount of desperate and frustrated patients looking for alternative ways to obtain organ transplant. Human organ trafficking is an…

The Truth Behind Purchasing Illegal Organs for Transplant The US Department of Health and Human Services reports that an average of 22 people die every day waiting for a donated organ (HRSA). As a result, desperate and wealthy people are willing to pay thousands for black market organs. An illegally purchased kidney alone sells for between 30,000 and 100,000 in America (Interlandi, 2009). However, the donor is likely given less than a tenth of that money. The story of Nawaraj Pariyar…

organ transplant” (“How Organ Allocation Works”). When, if ever they get their organs they need to continue living depends on a number of different factors. One factor is who is an appropriate donor. When being an organ donor, ones donor credentials are reviewed along with any previous or lasting medical conditions. Another factor is how the people in need of the organs receive them, whether it be from a live or deceased…

are saved through organ donation. However, the waiting list for transplantation is also increasing with time. According to the U.S Department of Health & Human Services, an average of 21 people die each day from the lack of available organs for transplant. Therefore, one challenge in organ transplantation, which has remained for a long time, is to overcome the shortage of suitable organ donors.

Human Organs). As a catholic, it is important that organs should not be up for sale but be donated willingly. However, most Catholics are less likely to donate because of the view on afterlife and the worry about preserving body integrity. Organ transplants are necessary for many people around the world; yet, the amount of donations are not even close to the amount of organs needed. Therefore, people would rather buy organs; it is incredible how this world has become overruled by the power of…

donor. People are afraid it will affect their own medical treatment. But the surgeons involved will be different from those saving you. Since the donor does not get to choose who their organs go to, with the exception of kidney and partial lung transplants, this may be a concern for people that feel uncomfortable with their organs going to someone of a different gender, religion, class, faith, etc. That however is not falsely accused and is quite difficult to argue against. Although if one is…
