cliaz Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Rules: * Avoid the use of Never * Avoid the use of Always * Refrain from saying you are wrong and instead use mistaken * Attack the idea not the person * Avoid exaggeration * Quote sources * If it is just an opinion, admit it * Do not present opinion as facts * Concede minor or trivial points * Avoid bickering, quarreling, and wrangling * Don't win a debate and lose a friend * Keep your perspective - You're just debating * And do not hijack the thread Summary:Advances in surgical and diagnostic techniques have substantially increased the success of organ transplant operations. In 2000, a total of 22,827 organs were transplanted in the United States. However, in the preceding decade, the discrepancy between the number of available organs and the number of patients requiring a transplant operation has increased significantly.A British Medical Association (BMA) report has indicated that in the period between 1995 and 1999, 1,000 patients in the United Kingdom died whilst waiting for a heart, heart and lung, or liver transplant. An average of 15 patients die every day in the US whilst awaiting an appropriate organ. The genuine figure will likely be inflated by the deaths of patients that are never wait-listed for a transplant. In addition, substantial numbers of patients die annually on account of the absence of both kidney donors and the lack of dialysis machines. The sale of human organs can be considered as a possible solution to the crippling shortage. The black market trade in human organs is already thriving. Entrepreneurs offer the opportunity for British patients to receive privately financed transplant operations in India and Malaysia. An American citizen was recently arrested in Rome for offering human hearts and pancreas glands for sale to Italian doctors. In February, two Chinese government officials were charged with the sale of the organs of executed prisoners. In 1983, Dr. Barry Jacobs requested that the U.S. government create a fund to compensate the families who donate the organs of deceased relatives, or ‘cadaveric donors’. Dr. Jacobs also proposed to set up a business that would buy kidneys from living donors for transplantation in American patients. The proposal raised popular opposition. The National Organ Transplantation Act in 1984 still prohibits the sale of human organs from either dead or living donors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The only thing that I know about this topic, is that if a really hot woman starts flirting with you at a hotel bar, you will wake up in a bathtub full of ice with your kidneys missing.

And when you get out of the hospital and go home to your wife you will wake up with a detached penis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Fact: My mother in law received a heart transplant and lived almost 24 extra years with it. Fact: I personally know of a person that died while waiting for an organ donor while my mother in law was recovering from her surgery.

MikesVikes Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) The topic isn't organ donation, it is organ sales. Big difference. Cliaz wanted facts. How many facts are their in regards to what's right and wrong about organ sales? I think that you can pretty much state as fact that there shouldn't be any cost involved to the organ donor if they decide to donate on organ.
