Summary Of Organ Sales Will Save Lives
To me the most effective essay was "Organ Sales Will Save Lives" by Joanna Mackay. I might be somewhat biased in my decision, since I am a big believer in freedom and and the self-directing nature of well run economic markets. In my opinion this essay is not only about the organ sales but rather it reflects on a deeper truth, the right for all humans to be the decision makers of their own lives and bodies. Some of the things I like the most about this essay were the use of emotional arguments and the way the author acknowledges many of the obvious counterarguments. I think Mackay does a very good job writing about a touchy subject and picturing the argument in a very straight forward way, almost crude in my opinion. This really impacted me
because it hit me on my soft spot and made me think about many of the struggling individuals on the many developing countries in the world, as well as the many sick people who are waiting for kidneys but that they might never get it. It makes me think, are these laws fair? who are this laws protecting? who are their benefiting? Tough questions indeed. I believe that a good argument is one that challenges what you believed to be true up to that point, by that standard Mackay argument gains my respect for sure.
