Which of these is not a reason David Steinberg gives in favor of his proposed organ-donation policy? It would help to increase the number of organs available for transplantation by giving people an incentive to become donors. It would prohibit people who are unwilling to donate their organs from receiving organ transplants if they should ever need one. It would help to decrease our dependence on live donations. It would promote a kind of reciprocal altruism.

However, generally speaking, it's unlikely that a proposed policy would include a provision to prohibit people who are unwilling to donate their organs from receiving organ transplants if they should ever need one (Option B). This would be seen as highly unethical Show more…

Which of the following reasons explains a possible advantage of using adult stem cells in therapeutic cloning rather than embryonic stem cells? A. Adult stem cells must be obtained from another individual before being injected into the patient and would be less likely to be rejected by the patient's body. B. Embryonic stem cells wouldn't be able to enter the correct tissue of the patient's body, unlike an adult stem cell. C. Adult stem cells have a longer lifespan in culture than embryonic stem cells and would persist for a longer time in the patient's body. D. Adult stem cells may be obtained from the patient and would be less likely to be rejected by the patient's body.

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.

8. Sally Satel proposes $50,000 in benefits to kidney donors, along with follow-up medical care. Why does she think that providing benefits to donors is a good idea? Why does she think that benefits from a third party (such as a charity or government entity) is better than a cash payment from the kidney recipient? Why does she suggest a waiting period for potential donors? Do you agree with her proposal? Why/why not? 9. Explain Scott Carney's argument for why a legal market for organs in the United States will not stop exploitation of the poor through illegal markets around the world, and explain Carney's argument for why a legal market in the US will not stop exploitation of the poor in legal markets around the world. 10. What are the reasons why Francis Delmonico and Alexander Capron believe that kidney donors should not receive payment beyond covering their costs (medical expenses and lost earnings)? How do they think that the US can increase the number of kidney donors without paying donors?
