I, 100 percent, agree with Nicole’s views. It makes no sense, what-so-ever, to have to sell an organ for profit. Like Nicole said, people would just sell their extra kidney, instead of putting hours in at their job. This is not something we need happening to our economy. I never thought of it that way. I also agree with the fact that the world would be mad… Everybody would be going out and selling their organs. I know there are a lot of people out there that are in desperate need of an organ, and there aren’t as many donors as there are transplant receivers, but selling organs is not the answer.
Also, with the fact that the whole procedure is very expensive, why would we throw in another expense for the receiver? Nicole said, “People who need organs the most might get outweighed by people who have the most money.” This is so true because with how expensive this whole process is, it would limit the amount of people able to receive a transplant; only the rich would be able to afford this. I agree that this would be completely unethical.
Lastly, I also disagree with the quote by the author saying we can do what we want with our bodies because we are in charge of them. Yes, they’re our bodies, but why make a profit off of them? Wouldn’t it be nice if people could have the heart to just donate organs? There are definitely more disadvantages than there are advantages. It would hurt more than it would help, only because people would be putting themselves in danger for something that may not work or could be rejected.
Nicole’s post is very convincing and persuading. After reading it, if anything, I am more against the idea of selling organs than I was before.
