To begin with, patients who are in desperate need of organs can be guaranteed one from an Unwind and do not need to suffer through the hassle of waiting lists due to limited donors.

Organ Sale: Should we legalize the sale of human organs? Organ sale covers a wide range of different practices. Most people readily associate it with the case in which one individual sells his or her organ to another. Legalization of organ sale has been a major issue due to its health and ethical concerns to the people who sell their organs to save their lives from poverty.

What about people who have already donated their organs to save peoples' lives? Since they don’t have a choice, upon their death, they are required to donate it anyway. Some people don’t want their lives to go to somebody that needed a liver transplant because of drinking, especially people who are willing to donate their organs.
