Assignment 1: Commercialization of Organ Transplants

Due Week 2 and worth 200 points

Imagine that you are a member of an ethics committee listening to arguments for and against altering the way in which human organs are obtained for patients in need of transplants. A new policy to allow the sale of organs by consenting individuals to patients in need and to medical institutions has been proposed. Critics argue that permitting organs to be bought and sold is unethical. You have been asked to review the arguments for and against the commercialization of organ transplants and to construct a report with your suggested plan of action. Use the Internet or Strayer databases to search for arguments for and against the commercialization of organ transplants, and then apply the principles learned in Weeks 1-3 to formulate your report.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you: 

1. Briefly summarize the arguments for and against the commercialization of transplants that you found in your research. 
2. Formulate your position on the debate of whether or not the sale of organs should be permitted. 
3. Defend your moral judgment with a moral argument. Identify the moral principle that you are appealing to in your moral argument. 
4. Determine which normative theory best supports your conclusion.
5. Use at least two (2) quality references. (Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.)
