...is wrong from this situation is the health care structure of the society that Stella lives in; one should not feel the need to sacrifice a part of one’s body in order to save another. 2) Give three reasons why someone would be against giving her a payment for organ donation. The first reason is obvious: it’s called organ donation for a reason. Donations are things that we exchange for no cost, so it would seem socially immoral to star making donations profitable. Also, another reason would be that it would encourage members of society to also attempt to gain profit from selling their own organs making it more difficult for people to find the organs that they need. One last reason would be that there are still many other...

...Body Parts Ethical? Charles Collins ITT Technical Institute Is Selling Body Parts Ethical? There is a market out there for everything. This even includes a market for human and even bone marrow. Some of these organs are from donors who have voluntarily given up their organs. Most donations come from people who are still alive and received some type of gratuity. Now comes the question is the selling of body parts an ethical idea. Alternatively, should it be condemned as something immoral and wrong? On the other hand, should we see this as another way to help those who are in need? Now what would be a moral route to help those in need of organs? In general donating one`s organ is seen as praiseworthy. This route is accomplished by “willing” benefit of others after one`s death. A person may decide to dispose of his or her body by allowing it to be used to replace parts needed by the sick and suffering. This is seen as useful, morally irreproachable and even noble to most people “…we consider it noble to donate organs freely. It is better to give them away than receive compensation for them” (Mullin, D. 2013). In addition, such donation would not cause harm to the person, as they are already deceased and have (prior to death) stated the wish to have the organs harvested to help others. “… Most of us acknowledge the difference between giving something freely and exchanging it for monetary gain”, as said by Daniel Mullin (2013) philosopher, recent PhD, and a former adjunct...

...Karra Bryant ENG 1020-011 Mrs. Shiner-Swanson Final Research Paper The Sale of Human Organs In the US recently the issue of human organ trafficking has become a bigger and bigger problem. When people hear that human organs are being bought and sold on the black market, they think that kind of thing only happens in third world countries, but it is quickly becoming one of America's biggest issues. People spend years of their lives on the transplant list waiting for a life saving operation, and they think that if they just buy whatever they need, it will solve all their problems. What most people don’t understand is how corrupt and dangerous organ trafficking is. The sale of human organs either facilitated through a doctor or on the black market, will soon be a huge problem in the near future. People on one hand are becoming so desperate for life saving transplants, and on the other hand people are looking to make a profit from buying or stealing organs and selling them on the black market. Organ trafficking is already an issue in third world countries, and will become a problem in the United States before we know it. The history of human organ transplant dates back further than most people would think. The curiosity of transplant dates back before modern medicine, in 9th century BC where individuals sewed animal parts together. In 4th century BC, Chinese texts describe Tsin Yue-Jen, a surgeon who switches the hearts of two people. This is the first documentation...

...| Medicare Funded Organ Transplants | Ethical Issues | | Pamela Caldwell | 10/16/2011 | Keller Graduate School of Management | Medicare Funded Organ Transplants: Ethical Issues Introduction “Ethical issues are the branch of philosophy that defines what is good for the individual and for society and establishes the nature of obligations, or duties, that people owe themselves and one another. In modern society, ethics define how individuals, professionals, and corporations choose to interact with one another.” (Ethics, Legal legal definition of Ethics, Legal. Ethics, Legal synonyms by the Free Online Law Dictionary.) The ethical issue with Medicare funded organ transplants is who it should be eligible and the problem that the needed immunosuppressant drug is only available for a limited amount of time through Medicare funding. The value of a person’s life has been fragmented down to if they have worked long enough, have enough wealth and/or resources to deserve an organ transplant; and the required drugs. This is troublesome in the regard to should everyone have an equal shot to a prolonged life and quality of care. Only those who have the ability to pay will be put on the waiting list for an organ. Define Problem How can Medicare better handle the ethical issues faced with funding organ transplants and the medication needed? “Since 1973, end-stage renal disease has been the only condition specifically covered by Medicare regardless of age...

Lately, there is an emerging innovation whereby organs are created to form and increase in size by a process of inorganic accretion, from the patient’s cell. This field of medicine is known as the regenerative medicine. In addition to this, there are basically various types of regenerative medical transplanting which are known as the auto graft, allograft organic transplantation, iso-graft, xeno-graft and xeno- transplantation...

ACTION: Notice of Report for Public Comment. SUMMARY: On July 12, 1974, the National Research Act (Pub. L. 93-348) was signed into law, there-by creating the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. One of the charges to the Commission was to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects and to develop guidelines which should be followed to assure that such research is conducted in accordance with those principles.

...most countries. These organizations are not directly affiliated with any national government, but often have a significant Impact on the social, economy and political activity of the country or region involved. So, we can say that NGOs have become major players in the field of international and national development. Bangladesh has largely failed to assist the poor or reduce poverty because of limited resources and planning, while NGOs have grown dramatically, but it ostensibly fails to fill this gap. There are more and bigger NGOs here than in any other country of equivalent size. Here, NGOs have mainly functioned to service the needs of the landless, usually assisted by foreign donor funding as a counterpoint to the state's efforts. Besides all these, in the field of NGO, Financial Reporting process and application of accounting is disgraceful. NGOs in Bangladesh have increasingly become subject to question and criticism from the government, political parties, intellectuals and the public in genus for misuse of funds, gender discrimination, and nepotism. Absence of proper guidelines in preparing financial statements and reports makes it more complex. The government of Bangladesh doesn’t have any unique rules for preparing the financial reports. In this report we will discuss about the financial reporting and Accounting system of NGOs and hopefully, the analysis and discussion of reporting systems will give guidance and support to the NGOs about the generation of accounting...

...ISIS’ CATACLYSMISM: A PHILOSOPHICAL APPRAISAL By Dominic E.B. Anyalagbuna 1. ABSTRACT: The very inhumane hazards of the so-called Islamic militant group named ISIS are indeed highly cataclysmic! However, this paper is faced with the problem of undertaking a philosophical examination of the named group. This, the paper does, using the critical-evaluative method by considering their history, aims and activities. Upon this examination, this work discovers that, among other relevant theories, this rebel group seems to be operating on the Transcendental Idealism of Immanuel Kant which states that ‘only ideas in the mind exist,’ though one cannot absolutely arrive at it. This theory follows from the militants’ idea of Muhammad’s prophecy that ‘there will be a time when the whole world will be subjected under a ‘caliphate,’ with a ‘caliph’ as their head. Nevertheless, in the end, this treatise highlights that the solution to ISIS’s crisis is mental and intellectual re-formation. In such-wise, this work adequately recommends an urgent mental re-configuration founded on re-interpretation of the Quran among these Islamic extremists, which fundamentally, is the task of philosophy to rationally and critically accomplish. 2. PREAMBLE: There is a profound state of topsy-turvy in almost the whole countries of the world, but principally and most intensely in Syria and Iraq. This is superabundantly generated by the insurgent undertakings of the Islamic militants baptised ISIS. However, there...

...Ang Konpusyanismo (Ingles: Confucianism; Tsino: 儒家; pinyin: rú jiā) ay isang sinaunang sistemang pang-etika at pampilosipiyang Tsino na unang pinaunlad mula sa mga turo ni Confucius, isang sinauang paham at pilosopong Tsino. Itinuturo nito ang tao ay sadyang itinulak ng tadhana upang makisalamuha sa kapwa tao sa lipunan. Kaya ang mga abnormal lamang at ang hindi "natural" na tao ang namumuhay sa labas ng mga pamayanan. Ang pakikisalamuha sa kapwa tao ang pinakamahalaga upang mabuhay sapagkat sa lipunan lamang malalaman ng tao sa lipunan ay tinatawag na "jen". Ipinaliwanag ang salitang ito bilang "pagiging mabuti at mapagbigay sa nangangailangan", "simpatya", "pusong makatao" at "makatuwid na kaugalian". Kasama sa jen ang "pagnanais na makatulong sa iba na maabot nila ang kanilang hangarin'. Dahil dito, ipinanukala na Konpusyanismo ang tamang aksyon na makikita sa pagtupad sa mga tungkulin sa lipunan: Pinuno at mga tagasunod; ama at anak; matandang kapatid at nakakabatang kapatid; asawang lalaki at asawang babae;at kaibigan sa kaibigan; at lahat ng relasyon maliban sa huli ay nangangahulugan ng pagkilala ng awtoridad ng isang tao sa nakabababa sa kanya. Subalit maisasakatuparan ng nagsabing awtoridad ng may responsibilidad at pagmamahal. Ang nakabababa ay may tungkulin sumunod nang may pagmamahal at katapatan sa nakakataas sa mantalang ang nakatataas ay may tungkuling magpakita ng responsibilidad ng may pagmamahal ng nakakababa sa kanya. Ang Konpusyanismo ay ang pamamalakad ng tao sa...

... INTRODUCTION I can admit it freely now. All my life I’ve been a patsy. For as long as I can recall, I’ve been an easy mark for the pitches of peddlers, fundraisers, and operators of one sort or another. True, only some of these people have had dishonorable motives. The others—representatives of certain charitable agencies, for instance—have had the best of intentions. No matter. With personally disquieting frequency, I have always found myself in possession of unwanted magazine subscriptions or tickets to the sanitation workers’ ball. Probably this long-standing status as sucker accounts for my interest in the study of compliance: Just what are the factors that cause one person to say yes to another person? And which techniques most effectively use these factors to bring about such compliance? I wondered why it is that a request stated in a certain way will be rejected, while a request that asks for the same favor in a slightly...
