death, and many myths surround organ procurement and donation” (Cotter 603). Many religious books and leaders preach that organ donation is forbidden, and although many of those are misinterpretations, some people still feel that they need to die whole, and will have the ability to easily opt-out. In some religions, it is be believed that donating your organs could affect you in the afterlife. Religions believe that if you had hopes of coming back one way or another then organ donation might…

As of August 2017, more than 116,000 of men, women, and children are on the national transplant waiting list and at least twenty people die waiting for a transplant.

save lives. 350,000 people in America struggle with this situation each year. She also states that more people will be willing to give up their kidneys if it were legal.

Organ donation is the process of giving a healthy body part from either a dead or living individual and giving it to someone else who is sick to improve and prolong their life. I believe signing up to become an organ donor should be mandatory in the United States because there is a massive shortage of organ donors, the process to become a donor is very easy, and it doesn’t cost very much…

The Selling of Organs Imagine growing up with a normal body, living with little to no health problems. One day, out of the blue, one of your organs begins to fail, requiring an immediate transplant of that same one from someone else. This is indeed possible because of the advances in technology, so you seek to find the perfect match. Technology allows people to donate major organs and it allows those who are in need to purchase them. This opportunity provides the chance to lengthen and save…

She points out that thousands suffer from kidney disease that has no known cure leaving patients to suffer the only treatment; costly dialysis for years and years, in which they will have to endure, until a kidney transplant becomes available. 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…

Although the topic is very controversial because some believe that it is morally wrong to sell parts of your body and many believe that selling organs will lead to more controversy than good. Currently the only legal way for a person with an organ failure to have a transplant is through donation after being put on a list. With 68,000 Americans on a organ donation waiting list, and another American added to the list every sixteen minutes,…

be made to order, sounds like a beautiful, unmanageable fantasy especially to those like me who have watched a loved one go through the never-ending process of getting an organ transplant. Bioprinting could one day turn that seemingly impossible dream into a reality and completely revolutionize the world of organ transplants. I can imagine the years of my father having to deal with the limitations put on his life by dialysis disappearing and the stress of waiting for a perfect match it lifted…
