I wonder, how long where people living 50 years ago compared to how long they live now? Let's find go out! 50 years ago people were only expected to live until 40 isn’t that crazy. I mean people today can live to 114. So I bet you cant imagine how far we came in medical technology. Back then " the first non-blood transfusion was done in 1914". That was 100 years ago but a tiny bit more recent "The first heart and lung transplant was performed in 1967." Which is a huge deal. So many people would…

To economists, it is most likely and obvious that paid donation increases the supply for kidneys; as a result, the demand and supply for kidneys will come to an equilibrium. Under the law of prohibition of organ trade, the price of a kidney is set to zero, which is significantly below the price of kidneys in regulated kidney markets. Gary Becker, a Nobel laureate in Economics, with his research assistant Julio Jorge Elías stated that, “a very large supply…

Organ donation is the act of surgically removing an organ from one individual and transplanting that organ into another individual. This process is necessary because the receiving individual's particular organ has failed and in order to survive they must accept a functioning organ. Therefore, organ donation is necessary to save lives. Although, in order to have the organs available, the community must be willing to donate their organs. Overall, to greatly increase the amount of organs available,…

Organ harvesting is a worldwide market that is illegal is every single country except for one. The process of selling organs is illegal in the United States and is referred to as the black market. Many people are willing to sell their organs in exchange for a great amount of money, so the people who run the black market, known as organ traffickers, target patients who have become desperate after waiting for the impossible. The illegal sale of organs is a world-wide problem that involves human…

In an opt-put approach which Rippon (2012) calls an ‘aversive approach’, you would automatically be an organ donor when you are born unless you decide before death to ‘opt-out’. In Canada, we currently have an opt-in approach, which Rippon (2012) calls the ‘presumptive approach’. This means that you need explicit consent from the individual or next of kin before organ removal is allowed. You would then either have to register in a database to become a donor at some point in your life or be given…

life-saving organs from transplants. Unfortunately, the demand for transplant organs is higher than what can be provided by donors. According to the National Institute of Health in early 2011, more than 110,00 patients were on a nationwide waiting list to receive an organ as a result of organ shortages (NIH para. 4). It is estimated that, on average, twenty two patients die each day due to complications that arise while waiting for a new organ (United “At a Glance”). Sadly, getting an organ is…

The Organ Lottery In a world where there are not enough organs for people who need them, there must be a way of deciding who receives one and who doesn’t. I propose that a type of lottery system be used. Everyone will receive at least 1 entry in the lottery that cannot be taken away. Entries will then be added or taken away based on certain criteria. These criteria include organ utility (maximizing happiness per organ), dependability (if the person has a family who is depending on him/her),…

Organ transplants save thousands of lives each year and are considered one of the most significant medical innovations of the past century. Despite that, each year, the number of patients on the waiting list continues to grow, while the number of donors and transplants remains stagnant. One solution scientists are investigating in order to solve this problem is xenotransplantation, a procedure which involves the “transplantation, implantation, or infusion of live cells, tissues, or organs from a…

Organs for Sale, the Good, the Bad and the Moral Dilemma End-stage organ failure is the most common diagnosis for those awaiting an organ transplant. Currently the waiting list for a donor organ has reached a critical level with approximately 123,000 men, women, and children waiting for a donor organ, with an additional person being added to the national waiting list every 12 minutes. (see table 1) Unfortunately 21 individuals will die every day before a donor organ ever becomes available and…

Why You Should Be an Organ Donor Everyday approximately twenty-one people die while waiting for a transplant (Citation). Being an organ donor can impact and save countless lives. What many people do not know about being an organ donor is that they can still have an open casket funeral; donation is only considered after a patient has passed away, and they can save many lives. Donors can still have an open casket funeral which is another worry to some. This is a common misconception as well.…
