The discussion on the organ trade in another thread makes me wonder about why we have this whole organ ownership issue. If one person is dying because of the need for an organ transplant, why do we need permission to harvest organs from accident victims or other corpses?
Shouldn't the needs of the living supersede those of the dead?
Why should someone have to die because someone else prefers his organs rot rather than save a life?
Wouldn't it cut down on the black market if organs were made more freely available to desperate patients?
What do you think?
