Organs For Sale


When it comes to an individual having the right to sell his or her organs it is quite a debatable topic. I believe that an individual should have the right to sell their organs. It is their organs and they belong to the particular individual, so it should be up to them to do what they want with their body. These organs can do helpful things in our society and have the potential to save lives.  There are shortages for organs in the world today, and if more organs can become available via a free market then people who need these organs to survive can have the opportunity to purchase them and live.  For some people in this country, getting a new working organ is the difference between life and death, so why should the government keep people from getting organs and living. As long as the organs that are being sold are in proper working condition and are clean and do not have infection or anything wrong with them, then an individual should have the right the sell his or her organs.
After reading the article, “Sell organs to safe lives” my opinion does not change. It just re states my view and my opinion. The article talks about how the permitting of organ sales would allow more people to get organs when the really desperately need them, instead of waiting on a donor list and risking the chance to stay alive. Also it should be up to the individual what they want to do with their body parts. It is their body and people should have the right do sell or not to sell their organs if they choose. There are a lot of other worse things people can and do, do to their body. This is why individuals should have the right to sell his or her organs if they choose.
