7) Selling of organs violates the dignity of human being commercialization of human organ as a object violates dignity of individual person. 8) Organ transplantation of solid organs & tissues is distinct from blood or cells removed from body of one individual & placed into the body of another. Solid organs are scarce & ethical issues have raised by scarcity. When one is distributing scarce resources the primary focus is on kind of criteria that determine who should have access to the resources as resource can't be made available to every one. Blood is different from solid organs. Although it is vital resource it can fairly, easily be made available by healthy individuals be given to others who might die without it. The donor's body would replace what is lost in blood donation. 9) Kidney transplantation is economically more cost effective than continued renal dialysis of patients organ transplantation depends on availability organs. All countries are experiencing an acute shortage of human organs for transplantation Hundreds of people waiting for lease on life. All countries doing their best to raise organ donor awareness. 10) Lack of suitable organ may mean death & wastage of organ & every organ counts. 11) Some countries treat human organs & bodies as commodities that belongs to the individual person & that may be sold by these individuals for a valuable consideration. .. 12) People have close association with their bodies that to consider bodies & organs as property is tantamount to considering the people themselves as chattels hence they maintain that neither bodies nor body parts may be bought or sold. 13) They believe that if the ownership of bodies or body parts were to be allowed this would lead to a state of affairs where the rich would take advantage of the poor by offering such high prices for human organs that poor would unable to resist the enticement. The poor would therefore become the walking organ banks of the well to do. While this might alleviate the organ shortage in case of affluent persons, in need of organs it would be nothing about the transplantation needs & availability of organs for the poor. There is less or no poverty in western countries so there much more shortage of organ as no one comes for ward to sell their organs. 14) Many potential donors are unaware of the options of donation. 15) A refusal to donate which finds its basis in religions conviction short of changing the tenets of relevant religion or prohibiting adherence to the religions itself.
