The Sale of Organs

The author argues that the sale of organs should be legal. If selling organs could save lives, does the argument justify that the sale is not morally wrong? It is said in the text that many people who are sufferring from renal disease would do almost anything for a new kidney. If the sale of organs was possible, it may be seen as unethical by those who do not agree with its benefits. However, saving lives of those who are dying is much more important than an internal debate of whether or not it is moral. Many people may feel uncomfortable with the idea that living people would be allowed to have one of their organs removed and be sold. However, it is more unethical to let innocent people die because they cannot get a transplant. While the essay addresses the idea that organs should be sold, it does not talk about whether or not others see it as morally wrong.
