Response to Alison S

Last week I wrote about the ethics of selling organs and i came to the conclusion that organs should be allowed to e sold. After reading Alison's blog post i think i may have some different ideas. I argued that somebody's organ is their property and therefore they should be able to do whatever they want with it. Allison argued that people cannot be trusted to handle their own organs. People so desperate for money would immediately turn to selling there organs and some may even do it for drugs. The fact is allowing people to sell their organs would be kinda stupid because a lot of people wouldn't realize the consequences and just do it for the money and in the long run that could be very harmful to their own health. I guess that these laws are in place to protect people from themselves. At the same time people are still selling their organs illegally on the black market and that cant be very safe, maybe putting in some kind of procedure could end that because i'm sure people who sell their organs to the a black-market are not recieving proper medical attention for a surgery so intense.
