The ethical issues that arise in the field of transplantation are numerous. What is your opinion on using human organs for transplants? What about other animal organs such as pig organs for transplants? When formulating your post, ask yourself these questions and incorporate one or more into your response: Is the body a commodity? Can it be bought? How should decisions be made on distributing scarce organs? When several healthy organs are available, should they all go to one person or should several needy people each receive just one? Should a person in whom a transplant has failed be given a second organ, or should a different person have a first chance? Should individuals who have abused their bodies through smoking, drinking, or diet receive new organs, or should organs only be given to those whose organs were damaged by illness? Is it appropriate to spend money, time, and energy transplanting hands and other appendages that are not essential to life? Who can "donate" the organs of individuals who are unable to give consent? Is it possible to prevent coercion of donors? When should the courts get involved in organ donation decisions? The questions go on and on.
