Presume - to accept legally or officially that something is true until it is proved [or shown] not true Consent - to give assent or approval Organ - a differentiated structure (as a heart or kidney) consisting of cells and tissues and performing some specific function in an organism Procure - to get possession of: obtain by particular care and effort Just - treating people in a way that is considered morally right PRO Value Justice; In 1861, John Stuart Mill published an essay entitled, Utilitarianism. He described justice as something that will benefit the good of others. Criterion Enforcing that organ procurement is humane and beneficial to the society.
Contentions As a just society, it is humane to save the lives of others. 1.) It is beneficial because there are organs in satisfactory state, not being used. As stated by the Organ Donor Network, One organ donor can save up to eight lives. The same donor can also save or improve the lives of up to 50 people by donating tissues and eyes. More than 120,000 people in the United States are waiting for organ transplants. On average, 18 people die every day while waiting for organ transplants in the U.S., and every 10 minutes, another name is added to the waiting list. We can use their organs to save the lives of other people.
Justice It benefits groups of individuals. 2.) Justice is brought this way. I will state this again John Stuart Mill stated that justice is work that benefits persons in a society. The organs will benefit the people who are dying out there. This program is also not biased on fame and ranking of people in the world. The National Health Society keeps a record of what organ a person is lacking and how severe the need is. Having an organ transplanted brings justice this way because gratitude is shown in the patient. Organ Procurement is non-profitable and saves the lives of other people just because they want to.
3.) Rights between the deceased and the living The end-goal of a right is to protect the interest(s) of a right-holder. If I have a right to bodily integrity, it is because I have a vested and justified interest in preserving my body's wellbeing. I can be harmed, and therefore I require protection against possible harms; rights function as those protections. Yet, a dead man cannot be harmed in any physical sense--in fact, it could be asserted that he cannot be harmed at all. What impact does it have on him if his organs are removed? Since he is dead, he no longer has an interest in his bodily integrity since his reason for that interest (a desire to stay alive and a desire to be healthy) are gone. Whereas, a living person still has an interest in their health and wellbeing the assure them a right to their health and wellbeing--a right recognized in such documents as the Article 25. [7] Therefore, the supposed rights of a deceased should not trump the rights of a living person, as the latters interest is far more important that the formers, and as the latter as a better claim to the organs from a rights POV than the former.
Thus, we can also affirm the resolution from a rights-based perspective. However, this contention is ancillary to the foregoing arguments, as--of course--we are preferring a utilitarian weigh mechanism in this round. concerning Transplantation of Organs and Tissues of Human Origin addresses this in its Article 17.
CON Mandatory Choice is a better system for those that choose to opt-in/opt-out 1. Mandatory choice is a much better system for presumed consent. Presumed consent means that the approval is true until proven otherwise. Mandatory choice is a method of requiting competent adults to prospectively register their wishes regarding organ donation in advance of death through various registration mechanisms. Individual Rights vs. Privileges ( Rights of a deceased person) 2. A right is defined by Blacks Law Dictionary as a power, privilege, (sic) faculty, or demand, inherent in one person and incident upon another the powers of free action. Please note that rights are inherent in a person. I define a right as something you can do without asking for permission. The opposite of a right, therefore, is something you cannot do without asking for permission. Any time you need permission to do something it is a privilege. Blacks Law Dictionary defines this as a particular and peculiar benefit or advantage enjoyed by a person, company, or class, beyond the common advantages of other citizens. An exceptional or extraordinary power or exemption. In this case, the act of obtaining organs from another is a privilege and permission must be asked to obtain it. Unless, you want rights to be violated. The surgery success is about 90%.What happens to the 10%? Remaining family members will have the right to give the privilege of organ procurement of his/hers deceased. There should be a compensation for those that want to donate organs for money. 3. Let me clarify that there are people out there who are willing to donate organs for free and there are people out there who sell their organs in order to make a living. A single kidney has a black market price of $20,000. Consequently, the sale of organs will highlight and support the most egregious discrimination between rich and poor. Those who cannot afford to purchase an organ will have no opportunity to receive one. What family, if prepared to donate the organs of a relative, would decide to decline a payment of tens of thousands of dollars? Donated organs will disappear. The poor will die and only the rich will survive. The black market works in one directionfrom the Third World to the First. The relative absence of regulation and the comparative value of the rewards mean that healthy individuals in Asia and Africa fall victim to scavenging organ merchants. The financial rewards make the decision to sell an organ one of compulsion rather than consent. The sale of organs will lead to appalling human rights violations. Chinese judicial officials are reported to execute prisoners for their body parts. The lawful sale of organs would legitimize human sacrifice.
