    There needs to be a change in the way the organ donation system is set up. The system in place for organ donation is not effective. As of right now you have to manually opt-in on your driver’s license or get a card that says you want to donate. This is not the best method for organ donors, or those waiting for donations. Automatic opt-in, or the opt-out method may be the solution to the ever growing list of patients waiting for a postmortem organ.…

    As a matter of fact, the opt-out system places unfair treatments towards the poor and uneducated individuals who might not have a clear comprehension about the system and how to opt out. Even though attempts to impart public education on how to opt-out, it could not assure that all would comprehend and take actions, especially with people’s busy schedules and other responsibilities. Thereby, it is ethically inappropriate to automatically presume that people want their organs to be harvested. Thus, it is immoral to intrude a person’s body unless that person has given authorization to do so. In other words, the opt-out system is a violation of medical ethics of autonomy.…

    And my conclusion is I particularly don’t have a problem with organ donation, if you aren’t using the organs why not help someone else so they can have a second chance at life. I believe in recycling so why shouldn't someone have another opportunity to live. As long as the proper consent issued there shouldn't be any problems. Also I feel as though organ donation does not disturb any ethic beliefs because it is a chance for some people to live healthily again. To answer the topic question ethics provide boundaries so we won’t go too far with our medical advancements so they should dictate to a certain…

    Organs are constantly needed around the world by dying patients and anxious doctors. Sadly, there isn’t enough donors so patients stuck in the waiting list are being left untreated because of the lack of organs. I believe donating should be forced to be mandatory everywhere because people don’t believe they need to. In reality it is our moral duty to help whoever is in need. I plan to present the benefits, problems, and solutions towards this controversial topic.…

    Is it time for our society to reconsider the prohibitive laws that make it legally impossible to establish licit markets for bodily organs? So many people are unable to obtain organs they need due to the lack of availability. Increased medical advances have created the need for many more organs than are available (Staff). A commercial market may or may not solve the problem. There is a lack of commitment when it comes to donating organs which could be from fear. Potential donors fear medical personnel will not make every attempt possible to save their lives if they know they are donors. Little do they know, their organs will be available to save 50 more lives in the event of their death. The idea of paying people to sell and purchase human organs has created much controversy over the years. If someone wants to donate their organs, that is acceptable and even admirable. The idea of selling one’s organs for cash is generally deemed medically immoral. It is also immoral to entice people with money to “donate their organs”.…

    According to the National Health Service, there are two types of organ donations, living and deceased. Nobody realizes what the numbers are and how many there are suffering. “Currently, nearly 124,000 men, women and children are awaiting organ transplants in the United States.” (Organ 1) According to The U.S Department of Health and Human Services, a person is added to the list every ten minutes. 79 people every day are saved by organ donation. (Need1) However, 22 people die waiting for a transplant because of a shortage of organs. (Need 1) Everyone will die one of two ways, either their heart will fail, or they will go brain dead. Many lives could be saved if people would step up and help. One 13-year-old girl helped saved 8 lives after passing from a brain hemorrhage.

    Everyday about twenty-two people die waiting for a life saving transplants, which doesn't make sense then there are so many opportunities for them to be saved. The only thing keeping them from being able to live is that not enough people are registered organ donors. Ninety five percent of people agree that being an organ donor is the right thing to do but only about fifty two percent are actually registered donors. Becoming an organ and/or a tissue donor has no cost the the donor’s family or estate. (Top 10.., Par. 3-5)…

    Life consists of a series of choices that one must decide to make. A choice several people make is to help those in need. One can volunteer, purchase necessities, or simply give a friendly smile. There are some who decide to help others by donating their organs after passing, and I am one of those. One of the reasons I choose to be an organ donor is because a family friend lives today due to a heart transplant. Without that transplant, a great man who loves sports, his family, and the Kansas City Chiefs would not be here today. Several people in this world are faced with terminally ill conditions because their organs are beginning to fail. Many life-threatening diseases still have unanswered questions that can be furthered studied by the donations of organs.…
