The merit of such policy is that "it satisfies most people's moral intuitions, the people are comfortable with the morality of reciprocity, those who are willing to give should be the first to receive" (Alexander, 2004).
In 2004, ethical issues related to the death and organ donations were discussed by the Kennedy Institute Journal if Ethics in their September issue. The main highlight of the issue has been the proposal, "expanding donation beyond death and non-heart beating organ donation by redefining death and/or providing exceptions to the dead donor rule" (Nancy, 2005). The journal published the claim of an ethicist, which stated that the competent patient has the choice to remove the organs prior to death, provided that the directive was issued in advance. There have been some controversies about the description of the brain death, vegetative state and coma, and do these terms interpret "a living or dead person as an opportunity to change the rules about organ donation" (Nancy, 2005). There has been suggestion by the medical community that EEG test shall be dropped from the hospital's policy on brain death tests, the test is often required for the purpose of organ donation.
Some other proposals have been floated, which have requested change in the organ donation rules, the proposed rules include the requisition of the patient or family consent for donation, "which legally assumes that everyone is automatically...
In some of the states in North America, certain regulations have been enforced relevant to organ donation which compulsorily requires the signature on organ donation card, irrespective of the family objection. Among such proposals, "the most outrageous proposal has been the performing outright euthanasia to obtain organs" (Nancy, 2005).
A recommendation was drafted in journal titled Critical Care Medicine by Drs. Robert D. Trough and Walter M. Robinson, the proposal was that all the individuals willing to donate their organs, and those who are neurologically devastated, and vulnerable to death shall be allowed to donate their organs, prior to their official pronouncement of as dead. It is important that the public is kept informed about the ethical issues, and shall be offered an opportunity to communicate their concerns, which shall support in the determination of the policies prior to the authorization of an organ donor card, so that the procedure shall be regarded as "truly informed consent" (Nancy, 2005).

Concern also focused on the imbalance of the trade because the market is for only those who can afford, therefore only gives chance for the well-off. The black market has been referred to as the transplant trade outside of the United States. Legalization of the international organ trade would lead to increased supply, lowering prices. Therefore the poor might be able to afford such organs as well. Bioethics is also
That is especially true because in the vast majority of cases, prospective organ donors are younger than their surviving family members since only organs from relatively young people are suitable for use as transplant organs. However, those family members who do provide consent to harvest their loved one's organs invariably come to regard that choice as something that gives meaning to the untimely deaths of their loved ones. In
Some authors show that, contrary to the belief that health care professionals are less sensitive than the general public toward the manipulation of the body, they in fact have great difficulty in allowing action to be taken on the deceased donor, even actions as well accepted as transplantation. Various authors have reported that, as in the general public, knowing transplant patients has a parallel in the hospital setting, and
Organ Donation Why Organ Donating is a Social Responsibility Life is a sentence. It begins with a capital letter, has something in between, and then a punctuation mark at the end. Organ donation allows part of our physical body to be of use to someone else for short time after we have passed. It is a beautiful gift to be able to make someone else's life a little longer. This gives them
ethical decision making in general and then in the nursing profession. It addresses two key questions. What are the different ethical decision making processes? How could the ethical dilemma of informed consent in the nursing profession be resolved using one of these processes? The sources used to collect information are books and academic journals. The teleological approach suggests that informed consent is ethical because its benefits exceed its costs.
Argumentative essay for organ transplantation Organ transplantation is the donating of one’s organ to another human being for replacing his or her damaged organ (County 2). This procedure has been proven to be successful in children and young adults and the elderly with comorbidities (Grinyó 1). This can prove to be life-saving for patients with terminal organ failures and painful therapies for survival (Grinyó 1). Over the last 60 years, the
