I think that an individual should not have the right to sell their organs. It doesn't seem right to me that people can make money off their organs. Honestly, this would cause a lot of chaos in our society. First, I think it would create problems between the wealthy and the poor. Assuming organs would cost a lot of money, it would be difficult for poor people to buy them. This would create a market that would just be for wealthier people. Essentially, it could cause large problems with the poor people. Also, poor people would be selling more organs because they need the money compared to the middle and upper class.
Another big issue with allowing to sell organs is that people may severely hurt themselves after the specific surgery. Saying this, people will have a long recovering process, which would increase medical assistances in a lot of fields. Also, some people might rely on selling organs so much that it could possibly end up killing them in the long run.
Lastly, in my opinion, the market of selling organs would cause a lot of havoc. Organs would be for sale in many places and overall could create a lot of fraud, in which the law enforcement would get involved. For example, if people are selling organs that aren't healthy and won't benefit the buyer, there could be big lawsuits.
After reading the article, my opinion has not changed. My opinion hasn't changed because the author's points just don't really sway my decision. I believe that the negatives of selling organs still outweigh the positives. The negatives of causing problems with the poor, severely hurting the sellers, and the fraud are just not worth it.
