Talking about the 18,000 people who die a year because they don't have health insurance and the ones that do go broke, loose their houses and even go bankrupt because of health insurance co-pays. Not to mention the one seventy nine year old man the video showed, having to work at the age of 79 to afford his wife's medicine even though he was on medicaide, and will have to work till he dies. Then the part where the video
The propose organ donation system intends to alleviate some of the burden placed on transplant patient by providing a financial incentive either to the person that the donor chooses at the time of enrollment to be the recipient of the incentive at the time of death (Tabarrok 97). The donor would also have the option to have his burial paid for instead (Tabarrok 97). This would distribute the financial capital not only between the transplant doctors and the growing number of transplant centers which only perform fewer than five transplants a year, but also to the most affected, the donor (Tabarrok 93). Because the agent which is the hospital that collects the donated organ cannot legally sell them. The only way for hospitals are able to collect the profits is by performing the transplant operation.
George Lopez (born April 23, 1961) is an American comedian, actor, and talk show host. He is mostly known for starring in his self-produced ABC sitcom George Lopez. Lopez has a genetic condition that caused his kidneys to deteriorate. His doctors had told him in April 2004 that he was going to require an organ transplant but he postponed the operation until finishing the fourth season of George Lopez. In 2005, his wife Ann donated one of her kidneys to Lopez.
In his writing, he condemned the use of professional donors or monetary incentives in exchange for whole blood donations. He argued that blood should not be a product bought in the marketplace like other natural resources because the value of human life should not be measured economically (Titmuss, 1971). He cited evidence that professional donors, particularly poorer ones, were less likely to be honest regarding their medical histories just so they would still be able to donate and get paid. This dishonesty often put the recipients of the purchased blood at risk of disease, disability and possibly death (Titmuss,
Even though during the civil war, many medical advancements were being made, they were not being made quick enough to save approximately 400,000 soldiers who died from disease and infection. The main reason why many soldiers didn’t know of disease and infections was because the doctors assigned to their camps didn’t know of them. Before the Civil war, doctors were not trained for the conditions they would later face during the war. Many doctors served as apprentices rather than going to medical school and getting a formal education.
Every Dr. that went through this journey with Morgan and kept track of his health are stunned and that people shouldnot eat fast food and one Dr. even says that Morgan should not eat fast food for one whole year to give his body time to recuperate. In 30 days Morgan ate 30lbs of sugar, a lb a day and managed to eat 12 whole pounds of fat. It takes 6 months for Morgan to lose the 20lbs he gained in only 1 month. It takes 2 months of detox eating to get his liver and cholesterol back to normal function. My take from this movie?
The body parts and organs that were named have been successful in treating the patient’s condition. Discuss whether or not these artificial organs can permanently replace the original human organ. I believe in this day and time, that completely ruling out regular transplant would not be fair because there are so many people waiting for a transplant. I feel as though artificial organs cannot permanently take the place of original human organs because a patient might not react as well to an original human organ rather than an artificial one. My theory also is that eventually people will start bidding on artificial organs and the richer people will have say over a family that doesn't have a lot of money.
Should Violent Felons receive Organ Transplants?

One reason there’s a shortage of transplantable kidneys is that living donors are not always able to give their kidneys to person they want to because of biological reasons; loved ones for example. Kidney exchange implemented worldwide would provide an opportunity for exchange to occur. Finally, in regard to tackling black market issues legal avenues could be sought. For example, laws could be enacted that would hold doctors accountable for not reporting suspected organ trafficking. Currently, doctors would be violating doctor-patient privilege, their legal obligation to the patient is superseded by public interest in ending alleged medical violations of human rights.
