You wince at the pain. You cry at the ache. You tremble at the torture. No, you are not pregnant (thank goodness guys!) but you are suffering from kidney stones. Did you know that women report kidney stone pain to be more torturous than childbirth? Can you say, "OUCH?" But you are suffering for NO reason! And almost one in every 20 people will develop a kidney stone sometime in their life. And if the pain is not the worst part, you can actually be part of the millions who spend thousands of…

I feel that organ donation is a good thing and I would be more than happy to be registered as an organ donor. I would feel forever grateful if I were to receive a new organ from someone who decided to be a donor and I don't see any reason why not to donate your organs in the event of a fatal accident. I think that if you are dead than you aren't going to use them anyways and as long as they can be used for good to save someones life such as a cancer patient then I would hope that I could at…

Next to the brain, the heart is the most vital organ in the human body. The brain makes the heart function, but without a heart nothing else functions. In fact, in the absence of brain function, a human body can be kept alive for a surprising length of time as long as the heart can be made to beat. The heart pumps blood through 60,000 miles of blood vessels for a daily volume of 2,000 gallons of blood. That's enough to fill a 10 x 20-foot pool 10 feet deep, and the heart does this by beating…

Ethical concerns pertaining death surround the…

According to the Center for Bioethics, “ Organs are distributed based on length of time waiting, and age” (Ethics of Transplantation, 2004). Thus, the longer a person has been waiting, the sooner he or she is to receive an organ. Additionally, a younger person is prioritized to receive an organ before an older person received an organ. The criteria for deciding, the order of the transport list, looks…

Countries that currently have an opt-out organ donation policy, have been successful in increasing the number of available organs for transplanting. One reason that the opt-out organ donation policy works is based on the views of the people. For instance, in countries that have on opt-out system it is extraordinary to not donate one’s organs. Where on the other hand, in an opt-in system is is believed to be out of place to donate one’s organs (Rippon 350). This is because people look at what the…

Introduction The need of organ donors only rise higher and higher. In “It Is Morally Acceptable to Buy and Sell Organs for Human Translation”, Mark Cherry offers a solution to this. He provides claims that defend the ethics of human organ trade. Analyzing Cherry’s arguments, I will explain how our organs are not commodities, they cannot be part of a regulated market, and we do not have the authority to put a price on them. Not only would it undervalue human life, but it has many negative…

that he gave away one of his kidneys, to someone in need. This had then started a chain reaction which enabled four people to obtain kidneys. Singer then went on to speak about how he still has two kidneys, because he himself has never donated his organs before. However, Singer then concluded that Chris told him that donating his kidney was not all that amazing because by donating his kidney it extended the life of people that would amount to the same as giving 5,000 dollars to the Against…
