That is why human organ sales must be legalized worldwide. It will not only increase the amount of organs donated that will escalate the possibility of saving lives‚ but it will also eliminate the black market or underground economy by having faster transaction because of nearer sources.

They don’t want to give prisoners any essential help. When prisoners are badly ill and need organ transplants‚ people want to ignore the medical need of prisoners and blame that “they deserve to die”. I feel so guilty for all these people‚ thinking of human lives more trivial than caged animals. This is definitely wrong. Leaving them alone means

ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK: USE IN MANAGEMENT Neuron Transfer Function: The transfer function of a neuron is chosen to have a number of properties which either enhance or simplify the network containing the neuron. Crucially‚ for instance‚ any multilayer perceptron using a linear transfer function has an equivalent single-layer network; a non-linear function is therefore necessary to gain the advantages of a multi-layer network. Types of neuron transfer function • Pure Linear Transfer Function

In America‚ more than 123‚000 people are on the waiting list for an organ transplant. The amount of organ donors is drastically decreasing each year. There are many reasons money should be a factor in organ transplantation. Many people each day are dying from the lack of available organs for transplant‚ in other words‚ the percentage of organ donors is decreasing each year. Financial hardships for donors would no longer be a factor in the process and it would cut on the end costs of keeping a person
