Editor, Human organs are therapies for patients suffering from organ failure
We contend that unjustified approaches such as individual worth and organ commerce be jettisoned for the common good
Summary
Human organs are therapies for patients suffering from organ failure. This medical breakthrough is challenged with non-availability of organs because of the ineffective distribution of donated organs. Neocannibalism omits patients that are supposed to receive an organ based on the regular waiting times. Candidates on the waiting list should be treated based on the principle of justice.[4] The Centre for Bioethics presents the unethical criterion of the organ distribution ; (a) the argument that individual worth does not determine medical need (b) the dilemma to make decisions on who is worthy or not worthy to receive an organ (c) the slippery slope of determining an individual's worth and whether or not it is fair to label someone worthy of a medical procedure.[5]
