The current issue of sale of organs

By Nana Schwind

Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: 75, University of Sheffield (Law), language: English, abstract: In this essay the current issue of sale of organs is placed under a microscope. First the existing problematic of an organ shortage in the UK is evaluated based on actual data. In addition already existing national and European regulations regarding to the sale of organs are demonstrated. The obvious requirement of an urgent action to increase the organ supply leads to the question of a suitable problem solution. The theory of successful regulations are analysed and applied to the creation of a regulated living- donor transplant market in organs as a possible solution to increase the number of organs available. This includes especially a balance of possible risks and benefits while standard-setting, finding a way to motivate individuals to increase the organ supply as a means of behaviour modification as well as establishing an appropriate mechanism of information-gathering. At least the already existing legal organ trade market of Iran is illustrated. Advantages and disadvantages of this market are demonstrated. It is also shown which of the regulating mechanism seem to be useful or alternatively devious to apply to other countries, such as the UK.
