ANGELA LAI
the happy girl who lives with no regrets.

She likes to busk in the limelight,
and enjoys capturing attention.
I do not live in the shadow of others
and i HATE to be forgotten.

I do what i say,
And, i say what i feel.

You think you know me?
Think TWICE before u judge.

Here, i do my constant ranting.
Here, i update my camwhoring photos.
Everything here are purely MY opinions,
and u don't have to agree with me.
If my narcissism scares u,
leave me alone.

SHOULD THE SALE OF ORGANS BE ALLOWED?

that was on the SUNDAY times..
BIG HOOHA.
it was a HOT topic since quite some time ago..

some how the discussion gets hot again,
after "KIDNEYS FOR SALE" issue..
illegal kidney trading, online, overseas etc..

it was one of the topics we actually study for GSC.
General Studies In Chinese, A' level subject..

remembered reading articles, discussing about it,
writing essays on it in class, some time LAST YEAR. =\

well, i dont see WHY NOT..

Is it wrong to buy a kidney to save a life, or to sell one to help yourself out of poverty?

why NOT make the sale of organs legal?
since now we have so many illegal cases.

at least making it legal helps protect the interest of the "seller" / "buyer"
as the government can then administer the whole trading process..

here is how the debate goes:

-MARKET AND EXPLOITATION?

unfair to donor:
If money is offered to organ donors, the most desperate will be the most easily attracted.
It means, if everybody has a price, the price will be lower for those who need money the most.

unfair to recipient:
If the markets take the form of auctions, the highest bidder would get organs first.

Scenario:
desperate people are exploited for their kidneys, and the wealthy get to jump to the front of the queue for scarce medical care.

TOO BAD
we've got to be realistic.
this is how the world works.
MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.

everyone have the right to decide to sell or not,
it is a TWO-WAY kinda thing.
they need the money, you need the organs.
so WHY NOT?

even if the sale of organs is NOT legalized,
there is still the BLACK MARKET.
i dont see how it helps..

-MORAL ISSUE?

Some contend that society have a duty to preserve life and relieve human suffering,
NOT by creating injustices or to violate the rights of individuals.
Health issue will bug the donors if they sell their organs, with financial issue solved..

OH IS IT?
speaking of preserving life, there is a shortage of organ donors.
people are dying of organ failure. and nothing could be done..

relieving human suffering, same argument.
also, the donor will get monetary benefits,
and perhaps bring them out of their poverty lifestyle..
it is a WIN-WIN situation.

what rights to violate?
you want money, you agree to sell your organs..
it is YOUR right to decide to sell or not.
it is NOT for anyone else to decide, by NOT ALLOWING it.

Health issue?
i doubt this will be a problem, with today's advancement in science and technology.

i applaud Dr Lee for championing organ selling since last year when she wrote in to The Straits Times Forum page.

hopefully, it'd be finally legalized and accepted. =]]
