399092881?accountid=7374 Dr. Francis Delmonico believes that even a regulated human organ trade would be exploitative because “it’s the poor person who sells” (Meckler, 2007). Answer the following questions:
●
Do you agree that allowing a poor person to sell an organ is an exploitative practice? Why or why not?
●
What documented examples from real-life organ donors can you provide to help you demonstrate
how a regulated human organ trade would (or would not) be exploitative?
●
If you were writing your definition essay on the term exploitative,
how would you define it?

When it comes to my opinion, I do agree that allowing someone who is poor give the opportunity to sell there organs is an exploitative practice. They will be most likely to sell their organs in order to gain financial support. An example is Banglasdesh, offering the poor a price for their organs that can
put them in a better position financially while the rich bids there organs to the highest bid. I found that the Michigan State University (2012) say that it is a form of severe exploitation of the poor, that the bodily organs become market product that is used to extend the lives of the rich. To define exploitation in my own words I would say that it is a manipulative tool, using the lack pf knowledge of
people to gain self benefit. These people are being preyed on and taken advantage of for the sake of
money.
