So one has to ask was it worth it? Almost near years since we entered Iraq we are leaving with little results and a bill that doubles our debt and could continue to hold down our economy. There were over 4,400 lives lost, and that is just on the Americans side. We have not even began to scratch the surface of the effects on the native Iraqis and how many thousands of civilians have been killed and the millions that have been displaced by our war efforts.

The trading of organs is a highly controversial issue. The recent revelation of illegal kidney sale in Singapore has sparked media-wide discussion and debate on organ trading and also the relevance of the current Human Organ Transplant Act (HOTA). Organ failure can affect any organ in the body, such as the kidney, liver, heart, lungs and cornea.
