Cadaverous kidney transplants are usually from the old and the sick and do not last nearly as long as a live kidney donation. Accidents are another major source for a live donation. Most countries have laws forbidding organ sales, which make the odds of getting a healthy, living kidney, are slim. However, the wealthy can afford the black market costs involved. The poor, who are in dire…

This again points to the need of reaching out to the public on organ donation and how big of an issue it is becoming. People should have more of a say in where their organs or tissue go and if many knew that their donation could help others as well as benefit themselves, more people would come forward to donate.

Sharp examines the emotional side of the donation, stating that there is a “selflessness embedded” (Sharp 2007: 3) in the act itself while Scheper-Hughes’ suggests it is a violent act where “pure altruism does not exist” (Scheper-Hughes 2007: 508).
