Athletes train in order to stabilize the spine, abdomen, and pelvis in order to be able to accomplish functional movements and to reduce the stress on the spine in order to avoid lower back pain (Park & Yu, 2013).

Scoliosis is a condition where a child has a curve to their spine, with an unknown cause. Often times this curve is seen as an S-shape or C-shape during an examination of the spine. There are two types of scoliosis: structural and nonstructural. Structural scoliosis is a curve along the spine that affects the vertebral movement of the spine. Nonstructural scoliosis is caused by an effect, not by the spine but results from poor posture, differences in leg length, or an uneven gait. If…

is hurting the sale, trade or donating of human organs. There are pro’s and con’s to the black market but usually this only benefits the wealthy and not the poor. One of the pro’s is Americans who are on dialysis is in the billions compared to transplants.

occurs they must donate all viable organs to those in need. It is easy to see how this comes across as unethical and morally wrong, but what makes it solely unjust to give an individual’s organs away to those in need is not so easily understood. A human being should not be forced…

From the wealthy clients to the impoverished donors, the black market organ trade has become somewhat of a normalcy to many worldwide. This atrocious, yet prosperous business exists because the supply of organs lag far behind the demand. To alleviate the shortage of healthy organs, America should switch to the “opt-out” policy regarding organ donation. America: the home of bustling cities, unique people, delicious food, and the black market organ trade. Though it doesn’t seem to fit in the list…

The selling of organs has been illegal since 1984. In a way this law has kept people with kidney failure from advancing to where they could be today such as a shorter waiting list and keeping death rates from this specific disease from rising.

It would make organs into an object you can just buy. It would put a price on human life. This would get rid of the idea of everyone being equal.

This is all known as “Organ Trafficking”. One of the main things stopping this from becoming legal is the 1984 National Organ Transplant Act which states that you cannot get compensated for organ donation. Around 20% of kidney transplants worldwide comes from the black market. There are many pros to…
