“Should those needing a kidney to be allowed to buy from those who have
two?”

No, it should not be allowed. The selling of kidneys raises ethical, health,
political, and economic issues over the commercialization of human body organs that
many of us do not foresee. To ease confusion, selling is different from donating.
Although there had been scientific claims that individuals can live normally even by
just having a single kidney and there would be no issues and concerns that would
come along the way. However, this claim is apparently relevant and true in countries
where conditions such as the health care system, environment, government, and
economy are appropriate. In most developing worlds, this is often an illusion, where
the health care system is weak and deteriorating, where economies cannot give a
better standard of living to their citizens and where jurisdiction is biased and
distorted. How can we ensure the safety and welfare of the people with these
factors?

The selling of kidneys is unethical and raises concerns not only about the
aspect of belief and religion but as well as to the moralist. Selling kidneys for money
is morally, ethically, and legally wrong. According to the moralist, the selling of body
organs violates human dignity. It is argued that allowing the practice of organ selling
inherently runs the risk of promoting the notion that some persons have less worth
than others and that persons have a price, which is incompatible with dignity. The
selling of body organs has dire impacts on the health of the seller, especially when
conditions are inappropriate. There has been scientific evidence that humans can
perfectly live even with just having a single kidney, therefore selling one of their
kidneys should be fine and acceptable. These claims are true but are not relevant
and applicable to all individuals even those having a healthy body, especially those
individuals of developing countries. One argument can be raised, who will shoulder
the hospital bill of the seller, is it on the buyer or the seller? Thus, this argument
raises concerns on the quality of after caring that seller can have, can they be taken
care of for full recovery? Can they be well compensated for their organs? How about
if that seller will experience future health complications? Will it be shouldered by the
government or still by the buyer or it is in the hands of that individual? These are
questions that we must take into account. What if the hospital care system and
government policies towards the selling of organs are weak, how can we ensure
their safety and welfare? And if so, can we allow the selling of organs given with this
factor? Allowing the selling of organs affects the political aspect of a country,
especially on the security of its citizen against exploitation and profiteering. This
policy will only exploit the poor and pressure them to sell their organs in exchange
for money. Allowing kidney market is quite literally killing people. The selling of
kidneys would have certain undesirable and exploitive features and will surely only
affect individuals that belong to poor families. In the kidney market, only sufficient
rich can buy a kidney, since kidney would be priced higher, therefore making poor
people as a supplier of these kidneys that is unethical and illegal in any angle, we
perceive it. Even though we say that proper regulation and strong governmental
policies should be imposed to ensure safety, this can be hardly true in developing
countries, where corrupt government officials’ only concerns are on how they can
earn, even at the expense of losing someone else lives. Another concern would
probably be on the cases of human trafficking and exploitation of human body
organs? One of the possible questions might be, thus allowing the selling of kidneys
or another human organ would decrease human trafficking incidences? Probably the
opposite is going to dominate, it would even reinforce human trafficking since it is
now legalized and accepted in a given society. This would reinforce interest in
people who want to be rich by exploiting someone else body. Cases such as
kidnapping would be rampant in that given society since the selling of organs would
be hype thus attracting more sellers of the organs and delivering to the buyers, most
often done in an illegal way. Whose are exploited? Again, the poor ones. On its
economic implications. The kidney market would probably solve the shortage of
kidneys in the market, thus aiding the economy and saving people, but those are
solutions that only solve the problem in the short term, but the long terms impact of it
is dire and destructive on both human health and the economy. Allowing the selling
of kidney would attract more sellers (most coming from poor and middle-class
families) thus increasing the supply of kidney in the market, while the demand stays
the same or slightly increase (not surpassing the supply) thus causing a shift in the
supply and demand curve. There is now more supply of kidneys in the market than
its demand, thus causing the price of the kidney to decrease, therefore would
discourage sellers to sell their kidneys in a market where its price is so low. And if so
happens, government initiative would take place, selling kidneys in other developed
countries, supply is low, thereby, increasing the price of kidneys. This concept is a
paradox and much more destructive since it is now the government would exploit its
poor citizens for the sake of its economic growth and the growth of their pocket.

There are countless reasons and arguments why we should not allow the selling
of kidneys and any human internal organs due to countless concerns and issues.
Allowing it would solve the shortage of kidneys in the market, but would open doors
of hundreds of ethical, health, political, and economic predicaments that would
probably cause more suffering than ease to individuals. Do the gains from the kidney
market outweighs their negative implications to the lives of people? And if not, why
we will allow it?

"Should those needing a kidney be allowed to buy from those who have two?”

No, it should not be allowed Does allowing kidney can actually save a lot of
people or otherwise Amount of being saved vs amount of being killed, exploited and
abused for them. Some cases involve child kidnapping and organ trafficking
according to the NBI smugglers are now targeting children who are kidnapped and
taken abroad where their organs are sold to foreign nationals. Many vulnerable
Filipinos in impoverished communities are offering to sell their kidneys for money.
Organ trafficking is an organized crime in the Philippines and involves various
players. It is driven by widespread poverty and a surge in numbers of patients with
renal diseases. In 2016, 21,535 Filipino patients were on dialysis due to kidney
failure, according to the Philippine Renal Disease Registry’s annual report. The
number increased from 9,716 cases in 2019.

FROM PATIENTS TO CRIMINALS

Desperation has driven many kidney patients into organ trafficking. At least 10,000
kidneys are believed to be sold around the world every year, according to Organs
Watch, a US-based programme that tracks global traffic in human organs.

Based on online advertisements, the asking prices for a kidney can go up to 500,000
pesos (US$9,700), depending on negotiations. The usual prices are about 200,000-
300,000 pesos (US$3,900-US$5,800). It is common for recipients to bear the cost of
food and transport for donor candidates as well as brokers during the lengthy
process of medical examination.

the ongoing attempts to put a stop to it, illegal activity is being monitored by the Inter-
Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) under the Department of Justice.
“As of 2019, there are about 51 cases for organ trafficking monitored by the IACAT
Secretariat,” IACAT Deputy Executive Director Yvette T Coronel told CAN. One of
the cases, she added, was filed in the National Capital Region and the rest in
Quezon Province.

The government does not see the organ trafficking as a big cases, because
many people are agree on organ buying, they are more focus on drugs trafficking
otherwise if we allow the kidney buying a lot well interest and does not lessen the
crime .In fact if we allow kidney buying only rich can afford and no rich people person
of sound mind would willingly donate their organs.

Many people are into money what drives this people is for their dreams, they
want to be able afford a house, a car or a tricycle so they could have a stable
livelihood, but Many kidney donors are not aware of the side effects of the operation.
“They do not understand the seriousness of the surgery, the conditions under which
they will be detained before and after the operation, or what they are likely to face
with respect to the discomfort or immediate inability to resume their normally
physically demanding jobs,”. Scheper-Hughes has spent the past decade studying
the global traffic in human organs. Based on her research, most donors voluntarily
enter into transactions only to realize later they have been deceived, defrauded or .

"Should those needing a kidney be allowed to buy from those who have two?”

Poverty is one of the many reasons why people donate their organs especially
their kidneys. According to borgenproject .org the people who usually sell organs are
the ones who struggles financially and is far away from the health care and services.
For those living in extreme poverty, economic opportunities are scarce, and they are
at the mercy of several disadvantages, such as little to no access to health care,
education, and other important services. The poorest individuals in communities are
often marginalized from society and have little to no representation or voice. These
factors make it even harder to escape poverty. If the price was right, would you sell
your kidney to someone who desperately needs a transplant?

There is also the problem that markets only work for kidneys. (1) We have two
kidneys, which is one more than most people need. But markets won’t help obtain
more hearts or livers or lungs. That means running one part of the transplant system
with payments and the other based on altruism. Those involved with kidney
transplants want to give markets a try. Those doing heart transplants don’t — they
worry that a market will dry up the altruism they must rely on to get those organs. (2)
Putting 1, 000 ,000 php on the table to get people to sell a kidney should not happen
unless and until there are national standards for who can safely decide to sell one.
The sicker you are or the more mentally unstable you are, the harder it should be to
let you sell your kidney. (3) There are some medical conditions that could prevent
you from being a living donor. These include having uncontrolled high blood
pressure, diabetes, cancer, HIV, hepatitis, or acute infections. Having a serious
mental health condition that requires treatment may also prevent you from being a
donor. So even if you want to sell you kidney because you are in need of money. you
still cannot sell it because of these conditions. Any organ selling system would create
an economic relationship between buyer and seller, rather than a charitable one,
raising quality control problems. Are you sure the doctor that is assigned to operate
you is a good one? or they just need money and doesn't care about you in the future.

There are many ways to acquire money than just selling your precious kidney.
It is also important for us to know the significance of your life.

"Should those needing a kidney be allowed to buy from those who have two?”

The kidney trade, like any other business is driven by a basic market principle
of “demand and supply”. The present global disease burden of renal failure has
reached such a point that almost every country in the world—developed or
underdeveloped—is facing the daunting task of supplying an adequate number of
kidneys to patients. Renal transplantation today is the most valued treatment for the
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). To reach this stage of demand, it took
several decades of medical evolution. Understanding these phases of evolution can
provide better clarity to the circumstances leading to the emergence of a lucrative
kidney trade. Do you ever jokingly say something like ‘I’d sell my kidney for that’? It’s
quite a common expression but we thought it was just something spoken of in jest.
Look, when times are tough, we know you’ll do pretty much anything to get some
extra cash. However, here’s three reasons – if you needed them – why selling a
kidney is a terrible idea:

CLAIM #1: It is not Ethical.

The very idea of living individuals selling body parts prompts revulsion in
some people, while others may ask whether the price is right. People should realize
the difference between selling and donating organs. The people selling their kidneys
are not properly considered donors; they are “vendors.” Selling sounded more
desperate than donating. And as for the buyer, do we really think it’s ethical to take
advantage of someone’s desperation for your own benefit? Thus, selling a kidney for
money is undoubtedly morally and legally wrong. This does bring us onto a very
good point: Would you give a kidney? It’s estimated more than 10,000 people in the
UK need an organ transplant. Of those, about 10% will die while on the waiting list
due to a lack of organs available. It’s this desperation which prompts many to secure
kidneys on the black market. If you’re willing to become a donor though, you could
save somebody’s life. It may not come with a financial reward – but it’s something
which is still sorely needed.

CLAIM #2: Exploitation

The sale of human organs should not be legalized because it will benefit the
wealthy but pressure the poor to sacrifice their own health, it would be more difficult
to obtain an organ if donors can sell them and people may think they can use their
body for profit.

CLAIM #3: Selling your kidneys may put your life in risk.

This brings us conveniently to the third point. The NHS is one of the finest
healthcare systems in the world, but many other counties don’t have the same levels
of hygiene. Therefore, selling a kidney for money carries additional health risks. For
example, you could be in danger of: • Internal bleeding. • Infections. • Lung
collapses. • Pneumonia. • Blood clots As well as this, there’s the additional risk of
damage to internal organs and – obviously – death. Commenting on the issue, a
spokesperson for the World Health Organization stated: “The trade may well be
increasing again. There have been recent signs that that may well be the case.
There is a growing need for transplants and big profits to be made. It’s ever growing,
it’s a constant struggle.”

After considering several thoughts, I concluded that neither buying nor selling
one’s kidney is undoubtedly morally and legally wrong. And that it would either save
or put one’s life in jeopardy. I therefore bring to a close that selling and buying of
kidney should stay illegal.

"Should those needing a kidney be allowed to buy from those who have two?”

Poverty has been one of the most pressing issues confronting our country in
recent years. They had already experienced a lot in their lives. And selling their
organ is not the answer to their sorrow, or to their poverty.

For thousands of people, organ transplants have become a life-saving


medicine, and the demand for organs from patients with organ failure far outnumbers
the supply. While over 18 people die every day while waiting for an organ, I oppose
the legalization of human organ transactions. The sale of organs should not be
legalized because it will only benefit the wealthy while pressuring the poor to put
their health at risk. It will be more difficult to obtain an organ if donors can sell them,
and people may believe they can profit from their bodies. According to Kerstein,
"selling organs is wrong in the current context it is likely to occur". That is - with little
respect for human dignity, particularly to the dignity of the poor. But perhaps there
are permissible alternatives to buying and selling organs, he said.

Recent opponents of organ markets cite two main reasons for their
opposition: (1) "the integrity of the human body should never be subject to trade,"
and (2) a system is unethical "when it penalizes the weakest people and exacerbates
discrimination based on census," as well as creating "the risk of exploitation of
vulnerable donors." Some are more pessimistic, believing that the "poor of the
developing world" could become a "huge reservoir" of organs for the developed
world, and that the poor in a "hungry country" will never be "fully aware and
independent donors." Others believe it amounts to "possible donor exploitation."

We should not legalize the market sale of kidneys because the poor will be
sacrificed, and we should not allow this to happen because it is illegal.

"Should those needing a kidney be allowed to buy from those who have two?”

The organ trade is the trade of human organs; in particular, the heart, liver
and kidneys, all of which are the most commonly used organs for transplants. Selling
organs is illegal in almost every country; yet, organ trafficking is thriving in the global
market and occurs all over the world. The continuing demand for organs fuels the
need for more supply, and people in need of organ transplants are taking advantage
of the poor who are selling their organs.

The sale of human organs should not be tolerated because it will benefit the
wealthy but pressure the poor to sacrifice their own health, it would be more difficult
to obtain an organ if donors can sell them and people may think they can use their
body for profit.

Organ brokers interested in trafficking organs find communities where


individuals have little to no opportunity to escape from poverty. They strategically
approach individuals that appear relatively healthy who are willing to sell their
kidneys, lungs or livers for money. Despite the risk of infection, a lack of qualified
medical staff executing the organ extraction and a lack of follow-up treatment,
poverty-stricken individuals sell their organs for as little as $60. Often, there are
waiting lists of sellers willing and ready to sell their organs.

For those living in extreme poverty, economic opportunities are scarce, and they
are at the mercy of several disadvantages, such as little to no access to health care,
education and other important services. The poorest individuals in communities are
often marginalized from society and have little to no representation or voice. These
factors make it even harder to escape poverty.

Why should not allowed to sell your kidneys?

It is because every internal organs plays a vital role with each specific
functions, the idea which we adapt that a person can still function having only one
kidney is not acceptable, because this may result to another complications that may
lead to serious diseases.

Selling the other kidney typically experience a 20 to 30 percent decrease in


kidney function as measured by the glomerular filtration rate after donation. The
remaining kidney compensates for the loss of one kidney, through a process called
hyper filtration.

For living kidney donors, the remaining kidney will enlarge slightly to do the
work that two healthy kidneys share. The liver has the ability to regenerate and
regain full function. Lungs and pancreas do not regenerate, but donors usually do
not experience problems with reduced function.

Kidney donation inevitably leads to reduced renal function and is associated


with an increase in proteinuria, as well as a rise in blood pressure (BP) greater than
that attributable to normal aging. These factors are associated with an increased risk
for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the general population.

Over 114,000 organs are done annually in over 100 countries. Due to the
economic exploitation of global poverty, organ trafficking continues to exist. Nations
must work together to find an end to organ trafficking. The sale of kidneys by poor
people does not lead to a tangible benefit for the seller. The value of paying for
donations must be reexamined in light of these findings. Although patients with
kidney failure deserve access to optimal treatment, such treatment should not be
based on the exploitation of poor people.

“Should those needing a kidney be allowed to buy from those who have two?”

Organ transplantation saves lives. People with end-stage kidney disease who
receive a transplant tend to live much longer than those who undergo dialysis. A
kidney from a living donor will last from 12 to 20 years, on average, compared to
eight to 12 years for a kidney from a deceased donor.

But there is a shortage of organs. In the United States, the wait list for kidneys
alone is around 100,000. Those waiting for kidneys make up most of the 120,000
people awaiting organ donation. The need for kidneys has led some to ask: Would
purchasing organs be a solution?

Unfortunately, changes in deceased donation practices are unlikely to


eliminate shortages. Some physicians, lawyers and bioethicists have proposed
regulated markets in live “donor” kidneys. Surely a lot more people will be willing to
sell a kidney, assuming the price is right, than to donate one, their argument goes.
Yet purchasing kidneys is not only prohibited by international norms, it violates U.S.
law. The only country where a legally approved market in kidneys exists is Iran. But
market proponents insist that legal prohibition of commerce in kidneys is a grave
mistake.

One position, put forth by market opponents, is that a person’s selling an


internal body part is always wrong. Perhaps the best known philosophical proponent
of this view is the 18th-century philosopher Immanuel Kant. We are obligated always
to act in a way that expresses respect for the dignity of humanity, Kant held. He
believed that all of us, no matter where on the spectrum of talent, wealth, happiness,
or others’ regard we may be, have a worth beyond price.

Kant maintained that a person’s selling one of his internal parts – the example
he gives is selling a tooth to be transplanted into another’s mouth – is always wrong,
apparently because this action fails to express proper respect for the seller’s own
dignity. The action always sends a false message, Kant seems to have believed: that
the seller himself has a mere price. But, as I have tried to show, it is implausible to
maintain that every time a person sells one of his internal parts, he is sending such a
message. A kidney is not a person. In some contexts, someone could surely sell a
kidney and not thereby convey that he himself has a mere price. For example,
suppose a senator sells one of her kidneys in order to raise money for a charity. In
our cultural context, she surely wouldn’t thereby be signaling that she herself has
mere price!

Another questionable absolute position, put forth by market proponents, is


that buying internal body parts from informed, voluntary and autonomous sellers is
always right – that is, morally permissible. Consider this: One way to buy someone’s
kidney would be to buy her. Would it be morally permissible for you to buy as a slave
a mother who has put herself up for sale in order to get money to educate her kids?
The position in question implies that you’re buying her would be right, assuming
roughly that she is mentally competent, informed of her action’s consequences and
under no threat from others to undertake it. But many of us believe that you’re buying
her would be wrong. In Kantian terms, it would express disrespect for the mother’s
dignity by treating her as having mere price.

The implausibility of these absolute positions regarding selling and buying of


internal organs suggests that the moral permissibility of markets for organs is a
complex and context-dependent issue. It is naïve to assume that regulated markets
would be well-regulated markets. If the United States legalizes markets in kidneys,
would not other countries follow, among them some who have had an active illicit
trade? These countries, including Brazil, India, Pakistan and the Philippines, seem to
have high levels of corruption and thus ineffective regulatory infrastructures. It is
reasonable to worry that the kinds of harm that accrue to kidney vendors in
unregulated markets would also befall them in some regulated markets.

Whether we should adopt a regulated market in kidneys turns not only on


moral argument, but also on whether doing so would actually increase supply. A
recent systematic review of studies found support for the hypothesis that offering
financial incentives for blood does not increase its supply. Of course, effects of
payment might differ for blood and for kidneys. Nevertheless, for all we know market
exchange of kidneys might “crowd out” giving associated with altruism. People who
would otherwise have donated an organ might refrain from doing so if providing one
has connotations not of moral virtue but of financial interest.

It remains unclear how much regulated markets would actually increase


supply. In any case, such markets should prompt ethical concern, especially
regarding their impact on the very poor. Most of us reject the idea that the end
justifies the means: we believe that some means would be wrong to take even to a
good end like increasing the supply of kidneys for transplant. Under present societal
conditions, markets would, I suspect, be among such ethically unacceptable means.
They do not warrant our support.

"Should those needing a kidney be allowed to buy from those who have two?”

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy kidney from a


living or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on each side of the spine just
below the rib cage. Each is about the size of a fist. Their main function is to filter and
remove waste, minerals and fluid from the blood by producing urine. When your
kidneys lose this filtering ability, harmful levels of fluid and waste accumulate in your
body, which can raise your blood pressure and result in kidney failure (end-stage
kidney disease). End-stage renal disease occurs when the kidneys have lost about
90% of their ability to function normally.

Under U.S. federal law, it is illegal to sell a kidney or any other bodily organ. ...
Most state laws also prohibit the sale of organs for profit. Organs specifically covered
by the federal law include the kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, cornea, eye, skin,
bone, and bone marrow. There are some medical conditions that could prevent you
from being a living donor. These include having uncontrolled high blood pressure,
diabetes, cancer, HIV, hepatitis, or acute infections. Having a serious mental health
condition that requires treatment may also prevent you from being a donor. Most
people with a single kidney live a normal life without developing any long- or short-
term problems. However, the risk of developing mild high blood pressure, fluid
retention, and proteinuria is slightly higher if you have one kidney instead of two.
Living donation does not change life expectancy, and does not appear to increase
the risk of kidney failure. In general, most people with a single normal kidney have
few or no problems; however, you should always talk to your transplant team about
the risks involved in donation. Although the sale of human organs has always been
illegal in the Philippines, kidney transplants have become a lucrative underground
business, with hospitals classifying the kidneys as donations to evade the law,
according to Amihan Abueva, the regional director in Manila of Asia Acts Against
Child Trafficking a nongovernment group that lobbied for the ban.

Organ trafficking victims, as with most human trafficking victims, are generally
poor, vulnerable populations (United Nations, 2018). There are rare instances where
victims are put under anesthetic and wake to find their organs missing or are
murdered for their organs. Migrants are amongst one of the most vulnerable
populations for organ trafficking [11,12]. Many migrants often face poor socio-
economic and political conditions in their own countries.

Conclusions Among paid donors in India, selling a kidney does not lead to a
long-term economic benefit and may be associated with a decline in health.
Physicians and policy makers should reexamine the value of using financial
incentives to increase the supply of organs for transplantation.

“Should those needing a kidney to be allowed to buy from those who


have two?”

No. Every part of our organs plays a vital role in our body so why should we
sell it? Just for the sake of money? Yes it may be true that we need money but that
doesn’t mean we should sell our kidneys just for the money.

Do you hear anyone saying “I’ll sell my kidney just to buy a new car” it’s just
an expression but realistically they won’t do it, because it can cause several
problems in our bodies. People can get certain health problems after donating: About
18% of donors (about 1 in 5) get high blood pressure. About 5% (1 in 20) get chronic
kidney disease. 4% (less than 1 in 20) get diabetes within 5 years of donating.

Living with PKD can be devastating, but with the possibility of living organ
donation, the prospects of kidney disease patients go from bleak to boundless. Over
100,000 kidney disease patients are waiting on transplant lists across the nation,
with less than 20,000 transplants being performed annually. The need for more
donors persists and the opportunities to donate increases. From learning how to
donate your car to learning how to donate a kidney, there is a lot you can do to help
fight polycystic kidney disease. There’s a difference between selling them and
donating them, If you only do it for the money it will still be useless because you
need to keep track of everything you do. You will be vulnerable to many things such
as getting enough exercise and eating a healthy diet. What if you don’t have the
money and the environment for that kind of setting then it will be complicated. Your
overall health will impact your organs and your ability to heal from major surgery.

• The screening process for living organ donation is extensive, it’s


possible you might uncover health issues you were unaware of previously. Be
prepared for surprises.
- As I’ve said it we cannot predict what can happen to us especially if we
are in a different kind of environment and we can’t provide doing exercises, diets,
etc. It may cause even more problems in the near future. After you sell it the benefits
of it will only be short-term.

If you have a solitary kidney, you do not need to eat a special diet. However,
you can keep your kidneys healthy by staying well hydrated, not taking too much
salt, and not gaining excessive weight. If you have reduced kidney function, you may
need to make changes to your diet to slow your kidney disease progression. Work
with your health care professional or a registered dietitian to develop a meal plan
that includes foods you enjoy eating while maintaining your kidney health. What if
you can’t anymore afford this type of things such as paying for the dietitian,
developing meal plans, etc. You can’t eat what you want any more you need to keep
track of what you are eating to prevent such things. Some possible long-term risks of
donating a kidney may include high blood pressure (hypertension); large amount of
protein in the urine; hernia; organ impairment or failure that leads to the need for
dialysis or transplantation. So, selling your kidneys will strike back to you after a long
term of selling it.

One of a pair of organs in the abdomen. The kidneys remove waste and extra
water from the blood (as urine) and help keep chemicals (such as sodium,
potassium, and calcium) balanced in the body. The kidneys also make hormones
that help control blood pressure and stimulate bone marrow to make red blood cells.
Every organ in our body plays a vital role and we shouldn’t sell it just for the sake of
money.
