The sale of human organs has been a topic that has troubled many individuals as well as societies. There are those who feel that the sale of human organs should not be legalized at any cost while there are others who feel that the sale of human organs does not affect any legal or cultural law and thus should be legalized. People throughout the world have been troubled with organ malfunctions and require other organs to remain alive. There are other people who have the organs and are in healthy conditions and for one reason or the other the people are willing to give out their organs either for a price or under no fee. This creates an opportunity for the willing giver or seller to have the opportunity of selling his organ as he wishes. However, several aspects in the society have been against this action and they have cited their reasons for doing so.
There have been reasons that have come up to criticize this practice of selling human organs. The people who have come out to criticize this practice say that if the selling and buying of body organs is allowed, then the rich and wealthy will have preferential treatment since they will have access to the organs that the poor will not have access to. This will leave the poor people at the mercy of the good Samaritans who might know them and come in and help them. The idea that only the rich people will have the access to the human organs is valid. However, in the current world, the human health has been directly proportional to good financial cover in the recent days. The cost of keeping the body medically fit requires good financial background and thus the cost of buying the human organs would be equally high.
The other reason as to why the sale of human body parts is not allowed is that the global society feels that the sale of human body parts would bring about the commoditization of the human body. This would make the body more of a commercial product than the body of respect it is. This would lose the meaning of the body and thus the ethical respect of the body would be lost. There has been backing up of this idea from the religious leaders as well as other leaders across the globe.
Apart from the commoditization of the human body, if the human organs sale is allowed, there are chances that there would be the rise of crime against people in the name of the human organs. People would be kidnapped and child and human trafficking will increase and in the end the people will be very much unsecure due to this. There are the people who will use chance of legalization of the sale of human organs against other humans for the greed of money.
In response to the opposing views, there have been introduced new proposals that would help curb the said problems of the opposing side. In answering the question about the commoditization, the concerned governments feel that there should be laws that are supposed to be introduced to help bring in regulations about who is legible to perform the sale of the organs. The person who is legible to sell his organ should be of healthy condition and also there should be a level of poverty he is not supposed to be. The person should also have attained the age of independent reasoning and this would help the people in making the right choices rather than making choices out of no reason.
The sale of human organs will only be termed as legal if the person selling the organ is at the medical center by will and without being compelled by any other person. This would also be certified by the relative authority to ensure that the people who are selling the organs are under no compulsion from whatsoever sources. This will be able to deal with the cases of human trafficking and the sale of organs without the necessary requirements. The trafficking of human beings and children will not be fruitful since the people who are supposed to be selling their organs are supposed to be verified by the relevant authorities that they are under no influence. This will put the traffickers at a losing end and they will not be able use the sale of organs to their advantage.
There are several reasons that have been proposed and are used to justify the process human organ sales to other people. These reasons show the importance of the human organs business. The organs that are being sold belong to a particular person and this person can do whatever he wants with his organs in whatever manner he likes. The decision to sell or not to cell solely depends on the seller’s willingness to cooperate and conduct business. This independence gives the person an upper hand in dealing with the transactions and thus the legalization of the sale of human organs would help them realize their rights and interests.
There have been rising cases of people who need organ transplants all over the world. These cases have been increasing every year and the numbers of people who are available to donate their organs to those who need them have been reducing over time. This has brought a new worry in the medical sector since people die while they await the organs from the people who are willing to donate. The legalization of the sale of human organs would help the people who are queuing for the organs have the option of buying the organs instead of waiting for the donors. This will increase the life expectancy as well as the overall health situation of the affected parties. Apart from the people who are legible to provide the organs, there are plans that people will be allowed to donate and sell their organs if at all they are facing death such as the people who are on death row.
In conclusion, the sale of human organs would help people save lives of the people who are waiting for the same organs. This would also create a new world where people will not have to perish out of lack of donors who are available to give out the organs. The legalization of the human organ sales would help most countries that have been suffering from the lack of organs and thus most will be able to save their people in time. The rights of every human to do whatever he wants with his body will also be exercised through the legalization of this sale.
