Legalizing the Exchange

In the article “Why We Need a Market for Human Organs.,” The the author, Sally

Satel, argues that Legalizing the exchange is one way to discourage illicit transactions and

depredate underground markets.

People don't want to donate their organs. This results in a global organ shortage.

According to Sally Satel (2009), a practicing psychiatrist,. “Thousands of patients die

unnecessarily each year for want of a kidney.” At the same time, desperate people who

illegally sell their organs are often duped by corrupt brokers about the nature of the organ

and price. They are also often overlooked for postoperative needs and long-term

complications.

The government (which government?) imposed a ban on the sale of organs. The

prohibition policy has wrongly encouraged the development of a black market. According to

Sally Satel (2009),a practicing psychiatrist” the prohibition policy urged on these countries

will only end up pushing organ markets further underground, or cause them to blossom

elsewhere.”

To change the status quo, World health authorities should promote a legal apparatus

for exchange. The first step is to eliminate two misconceptions. Exchange legalization will

eventually become another form of underground market. On the contrary, if the

government can set up a regulatory system to protect donors, such as, paying potential

donors cash or other forms of compensation, it can avoid the occurrence of these things.

Meanwhile, with proper ethical control, people can be motivated to donate their organs. It
will eventually increase the supply of organs. The other misconception is that a

compensation system injures desperate people. The government should offer in-kind

rewards to avoid risk. In this way, indigent people will not act irrationally because they are

desperate for money.
