When it comes to the topic of a person being able to sell their organs, I am on the side of letting the human make the choice, in the sense of donating. Each of us are the ones in control of our bodies, and we make the decisions how on we should treat our bodies. By what we eat, our exercise, our sleeping patterns, and everything that affects our body. It is up to us how we want our bodies to be like. So when it comes to if we are willing to sell our organs and if we should be allowed to, I say of course. If we are healthy enough to have someone else use our organs, then why shouldn't we let them use them. We could be saving someone’s life and that is the best thing that a human can do. The circumstances that need to be taken under consideration is that if the person giving their organs up has a clean health record and is in it for the right purpose. If the person is doing it because they want to save a life, and really make a difference, then it is okay. If a person has different means behind donating their organs, then it is not okay. But if people are able to sell their organs, then that is wrong because putting a price on organs will make it not available for the less fortunate and the ones that cannot afford it.
Reading the BBC News editorial by Martin Wilkinson made me think of the similarities that him and I share. In his article he goes into discussion of saying, "People should not be stopped from selling their organs because they have a right to do what they want with their bodies when they would not be harming others". I totally agree with this because it is very true. Donating organs is only making someone better, it is not making someone worse off. No harm is being done to someone because of the decision they make.
