In response to Paul Yonga’s thoughts of organ’s being for sale, I think that he thinks that people are selling their organs just for his or her benefit. The money that is given to people when they donate organs is only an incentive for helping other people survive. I agree with the fact there may be a problem with not knowing the status of the organs, but this could easily be solved by simple checkups by doctors before an operation is done. If the selling of organs were allowed, the process wouldn’t be dangerous because it would have to be required for the removal of an organ to not be life threatening and the operation to be carried out by a profession surgeon. To deny people the basic right to choose what they want to do with their body just isn’t right. Plus, the selling of bodies would help so many more people than it would actually hurt by increasing the supply of needed organs while lowering the waiting lists for organs. Also, when he says that it is no longer voluntary for people who are selling their organs for money is just ridiculous. People aren’t forced to sell their organs when they need money. There are a lot of other things that can be done to make money, like getting a job.
