Organ donations fall under the typical supply and demand equations. There are too many who need new organs and not enough to save the estimated 4,000 who die each year waiting for a transplant. Because it is completely illegal to sell your organs the idea has been thought of for some time now. After you read the article below, think would you sell your organs if times were bad and money was tight? I don’t believe I would however money is known to push people to do bizarre things in dire need of cash.

I think that in some cases it should be legal to see your organs. For instance, someone who is terminal and is going to die, they should be able sell their organs that are good for money to support their families. It really comes down to a debate of morals, and if it would be socially acceptable to take the organs of someone who needs the money. Defiantly a great topic to debate, but I do not see this coming to fruition anytime soon.
