Analysis of “Organ Sales Will Save Lives” English 112 11:30-12:45 9/19/2012 Analysis of “Organ Sales Will Save Lives” Thousands of people die every year from a tragic disease known as end-stage renal failure. However, these deaths could be easily prevented with the legalization of kidney sales for transplant. Countless people around the world are either desperate to sell or buy a kidney, yet restrictions on such transactions have caused the black market organ trade to thrive. Restraints on kidney sales not only promotes risky conditions in which to purchase one, but cheats the seller out of due compensation if it were legal. In her essay “Organ Sales Will Save Lives”, Joanna Mackay explains how legalizing kidney sales would be beneficial in more ways than one; saving the lives of patients willing to buy kidneys, and with legal compensation, helping to end poverty in the countries of those willing to sell.
The cost of health care that he receives for the heart transplant after leaving a hospital is about $1 million. As the guy recovered, he still had to serve 25 years to life in prison. There is a debate about whether the felons deserve organ transplantation. Most people would find it troubling that a criminal would get a major organ transplant while hundreds of law-abiding citizens who desperately need the organ, such as heart, kidney, liver, lung, and etc., are made to wait. National Kidney Foundation stated, “Over 95,000 U.S. patients are currently waiting for an organ transplant; nearly 4,000 new patients are added to the waiting list each month.” On the other hand, there is valid argument regarding convicted felons should receive organ transplants .
According to the Hawaii Department of Agriculture is participating in a multi agency campaign to stop the spread of the coquis in Hawaii. The reason for this is because the coqui doesn’t have a natural enemy to keep the population down, also because of the warm temperature they breathe year around. The Hawaii Agriculture department stated that “in some area’s the population of the coqui is around 10,000 frogs per acre” no wonder people in Hawaii can’t sleep It is like a law mower running all night. If someone in Hawaii is caught transporting or selling a coqui is in violation of the Hawaii state law. Which is a class c felony and they will be fined of $50,000 to $200,000 plus three years in prison.
Lastly, the amount of personal bankruptcies will be reduced. Many Americans file for bankruptcy because of their medical bills, if the rates go down and more people can afford coverage then it would make sense that the amount of bankruptcies would also go down. Even though the pros all help and seem great the cons to this policy also holds valid points. First, “18 million of the uninsured will be forced to go under Medicaid, while the rest will have to accept another government program. Even so, millions will remain uninsured,” (Pros and cons of Obama care June 29, 2012).
However it is very hard to find out the information which will be required to cure this disastrous health issue. Doctors are already using Gamma rays to destroy few cells in the body which contain cancer in them so that these cells don’t spread to the rest of the living cells in the body which by then the doctors will not be able to destroy the cells because there will be too many which would harm the body too much. In America cancer has killed the most people and 1 in 4 people are diagnosed with cancer which means 25% of the people in America are diagnosed with cancer. Cancer kills approximately 547,500 people in a single year. It has affected 7.3 million people all around the

Vlad Bakhmetyev Burchett/5 Illegal Immigration Research Paper Migration into the United States is often looked at as a privilege to those in search of a better life. However, migrating to the U.S. illegally is extremely detrimental to the government eroding State and Government funds. As a result, schools and hospitals all over the United States literally go bankrupt and get shut down. Clearly, illegal aliens cost the U.S. a great amount of money that could be allocated towards other funds for the benefit of its citizens. An estimated $2.5 billion a year is spent on their Medicaid, as well as another annual $12 billion dollars spent on primary and secondary school education for illegal kids, in addition some $1.6 billion is annually spent

Most tortures are designed not to leave any visible marks or scars (Problems With The Police And Law Enforcement In China). According to Hays (2008), inmates sentenced to death or awaiting an appeal are regularly handcuffed and shackled for 24 hours a day, and cannot eat or use a toilet without the aid of other prisoners. In addition, the police in China could detain suspects for an indefinite amount of time; for instance, one man was detained for 10 years because police failed to gather enough evidence to convict him (Hays, 2008). According to Hays (2008), " When Beijing is criticized about its detainment rules by the United States, the Chinese point out that hundreds of terrorist suspects have been detained without trial at Guantanamo Bay." (Problems With The Police And Law Enforcement In
(Guzzardi, 2003). According to Guzzardi, if we want to reduce the cost of quality health care for U.S. citizen, then you can not provide it to every illegal alien in this country (Guzzardi, 2003). U.S. taxpayers have spent hundreds of millions on patients who do not have any legal papers or working status on medical care. The average cost the government is spending on illegal immigrants on medical care according to a research which surveyed 28 hospitals in Florida, found a total of $40 million in 2002 (Guzzardi, 2003). Again, that money can be spent on other useful costs for the nation, such as special education students or improving the community as a whole.
