Abstract

Organ shortage is a major survival issue for millions of people worldwide. Globally 1.2 million people die each yearfrom kidney failure. In this paper, we critically examine and find lackingextant proposals forincreasing organ supply, such as opting in and opt out fordeceased donor organs, and parochial altruism and paired kidney exchange forlive organs. We defend two ethical solutionsto the problem of organ shortage.One is to make deceased donor organs automatically available for transplantwithout requiring consent from the donor or their relatives. The other isforsociety to buy nonvital organs in a strictly regulated market and provide themto people in need for free.
