Prisoners and humanrights advocates might disagree about what voluntary donation means: Is organ donation voluntary if prisonersreceive the same counseling as donors outside of the prison system, or is it only voluntary if a person is not facingdeath (in this case, not on death row)? If someone were to develop this argument, they would define voluntary andthen explain how a particular case such as Christian Longo’s matches their definition of voluntary. What do you thinkabout this issue? What does voluntary mean to you, and under what circumstances would inmates in our prisonsystem be voluntarily offering to donate their organs? At what point do you think they would be involuntarily signingup to donate organs?ENG 106 Grand Canyon Week 2 Discussion 2Read “Legalizing the Organ Trade?” by Ritter, located on the Time website..time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1833858,00.html\">http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1833858,00.htmlAs noted in Peter Ritter’s (2008) “Legalizing the Organ Trade?”, Singapore’s health minister, Khaw Boon Wan,argued that “We may be able to find an acceptable way to allow a meaningful compensation for some living,unrelated kidney donors, without breaching ethical principles or hurting the sensitivities of others” (Ritter, 2008). Youmight ask yourself: What constitutes “meaningful compensation” for an organ donor, especially if the donor is poorand the recipient is wealthy? What examples of human organ sales can you find that match or do not match yourdefinition of “meaningful compensation”?
