The government and professional should interest in this article. However, this article also has some insufficient in contrast with Gagnon’s article. There have less examples and references which not enough to support the author’s viewpoints. While, the author also has some bias because he does not illustrate the negative aspects of organ and other donations to donor itself and the family. It would be better if he can pay attention on the balance point and give more examples rather than just give standpoint.…
Compensating donors for organ donations is one of the most controversial debates we have today. The shortage of organ donations in America is the one of the main reason there is a sudden drive to supplement the possible sources of organs.

The final argument against allowing for monetary compensation for organ donation is that many maintain desperate people do desperate things. This means that people may choose to donate even though it is against their better judgement, thus making the action less voluntary. However, medical experts say that there must be a level of consent and understanding for the danger that the donor will undergo during this process. Consent means that they must understand the risks, as well as, the reward and be willing to undergo the process. Any hesitation would undermine consent and would void the process (Wilkinson,…

If it is morally valuable for me to receive a kidney, objectivity requires that the donation of a kidney to someone else also be considered morally valuable. The ‘organ taker’ must decide whether they would be willing to perform the same morally valuable act as they…
First I’ll start off by addressing a couple of the many reasons why people aren’t quite as on board with organ donation as others. According to the article “Organ Donation,” from Mayo Clinic’s Foundation for Medical Education and Research as found on Mayo Clinic’s official website, updated in 2013, a leading cause as to why people don’t agree to become an organ donor after they die is because they think it is against their religion. But what most people don’t know is that organ donation in consistent with the beliefs of most religions. This includes Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, and most branches of Judaism. If you’re unsure of or uncomfortable with your faiths position on donation, ask a member of your clergy and get the facts.…

Introduction:-Organ donation is a selfless to give back to others, and can make a big difference to give another person a second chance at life. -The number of patients waiting for organs far exceeds the number of people who have signed up to be organ donors. Patients forced to wait months, even years for a match, and far too many die before they are provided with the appropriate organs. -There are many stigmas associated with organ donation, but most of them are quite false, and in order to be well informed, you must know what organ donation is, how it works and how you can become an organ donor and what organs or tissues you can donate.

For patients who need kidney or liver disease, people who are still alive, AOS organs can be used, because we were born with an extra kidney and liver is regenerative. -A transfer is usually the last course of action in the treatment of a patient, but if the patient is willing and able, it can be a good choice. -A match is made when both the donor and recipient have the same blood and tissue types, and other medical factors are considered depending on the specific needs of each case.

In some cases, people have shied away from the route of organ donation because they believe that when the time comes, they can no longer have an open-casket funeral, however this argument is not fully accurate, nor does it mean one should not be an organ donor. Assured that donation will alter their appearance, those who are still on edge about donation begin to lean towards the decision not to. Surprisingly to some, at an open-casket funeral there is no visual evidence of donation, let alone any altercation at all. It is important that when considering organ donation the patient is knowledgeable of its intent and is fully aware of common misconceptions that exist. By knowing this information, not only will they find…
