Human Dignity and the Organ Trade

Organ donation is a gracious act that adds more years to a sick individual’s life as it allows them to live a longer and healthier life. Those with end-stage heart, eye, or kidney diseases live longer than those who receive other treatment methods such as dialysis or oral medications. The problem is that there is a shortage of organs for transplantation all over the world. The list of patients waiting for donors run in the hundreds of thousands, with about 100,000 of them waiting for kidney donors alone. This has led to questions about the possibility of ...

Organ donation is a gracious act that adds more years to a sick individual’s life. It allows them to live a longer and healthier life than what they have had before. Those with end-stage heart, eye, or kidney diseases live longer than those who receive other treatment methods such as dialysis or oral medications. Those who receive organs from a living donor are said to live 12 to 20 more years as compared with those who receive organ donation from a deceased donor.

Introduction

There are several reasons why the annual Burning Man festival is unique among mass gatherings. Held in the Black Rock section of America’s Great Basin desert in Nevada, Burning Man’s 70,000 participants construct a city that houses—and in itself functions as—a participatory performing arts space, a communal spiritual retreat, and a cathartic experience of radical self-expression (Brill 2007). Then, one week later, they tear it all down, pack everything out, and leave no trace behind. It is an anti-market event (Cesewski & Giles 2007) whose participants rely on gift-giving and barter to secure any necessities ...

Markets work as the most efficient way to allocate scarce resources for which there are alternative uses. This is the theme carried through Thomas Sowell’s Basic Economics. And this is the point that Becker and Elias offer in their Wall Street Journal article. They make the case that people are literally dying from a lack of organs that they need to survive. And they make the point that it is especially true in the case of kidneys. Live donors can survive perfectly well with one kidney. Such donations are becoming common, but usually among family ...

Introduction

Organizations, whether for-profit or not-for-profit, need to plan strategically so as to fulfill their mandate, achieve their mission, and create public value.

According to Bryson (2011), managers and leaders of these entities must exercise discretion when executing their duties, develop effective strategies to help them navigate the changing and the charged environment and must have a coherent and justified backing for their decisions. Effectively, they can only achieve such through strategic planning. The essence of ...

The main objective of adopting marketing in nonprofit organizations is to tackle the increasing competition among organizations that offer similar services to the society.

The issue of gene patenting is an interesting one, bringing up concerns about the extent to which we ‘own’ our cells, and what rights we have with them. While some believe that, for instance, organ donors do not have the right to tissue that they have donated, others think that there must be some sense of bodily ownership that must be accounted for in issues like these. To that end, the work of Schleiter (2009), Caplan (2010), Satel (2008), and Rubin (2010) will be examined in order to see the ways in which organ and tissue donation intersect with ...

The law in most of the countries has prohibited the sale of body organs. Although the organs are considered the property of an individual, the government still control and determine if they can sell their organs at choice (Atkinson & Sargent, 2007). The US government allows hospitals to harvest organs of dead individuals if their family does not claim them. However, in countries such as Spain, the government has allowed hospitals to harvest organs from the dead by enacting a law that allows hospitals to harvest organs from the dead unless the person had left a will prohibiting the harvest. ...

Many fundraising individuals tend to think that donors want to get way with capital tax gains and get gift deductions. Failing to create a planned giving case statement is another reason. Without this case statement, a fundraising professional will experience difficulties in ...

This is due to thousands of patients who are waiting for organs, but the actual citizens who are willing to donate may not be sufficient to address the needs for tissue and organ transplantation.

Introduction Science and technology are marching forward into the brave new world with increasing rapidity. The proverbial Moore’s Law, prophesying the doubling of the speed of computer chips every six months (Moore’s Law), remains true to this date. As a corollary, increased use of the computing power and consequent technology allows medical science to unravel mysteries hitherto opaque to man. The biggest mystery to man has always been the mystery of procreation. As with most things man did not understand to begin with, he gave procreation a divine status. Children were literally the gift of God. However, ...

1.0 Background In light of implementing the initiative, there will be vital costs and expenditures to be incurred.

An appropriate budgeting process must be done in such a manner that the allocation of funds is evidently clear. Quantitative values must appear besides the description of the funds for which it is allocated. In this light, this initiative seeking to address the issue of child abuse also adheres to these fundamental aspects of the budgeting. 2.0 Budget

Organ transplantation is one of the significant issues in health care. There are various legal and ethical considerations encompassing this topic. One of the issues evolving the transplantation of human organs is obtaining the consent of the family of a dead donor. Given that the process should be done in soonest possible time, obtaining a consent from the family will take otherwise. That is because, a grieving family member may not be able to make decisions right after her loved one passed away. On the other hand, this is a challenging scenario for the physicians as such consent is ...

A fundamental problem facing new democracies is the hijacking of the political process by elites. Economic performance is affected by elite politics leading to underdevelopment and sometimes morphing into political violence. The transition from colonial regimes to democracy has been subverted by the harm that was done by the colonial subversion of traditional institutions in favor of artificial Western ones. This provided an opening for the rise of elites and the rule of ‘the big men’ (Owusu, 1992). What role do elites play in transition to democracy or its opposite? This paper seeks to provide an analysis on how ...
