What are the pros and cons of allowing the marketing of body parts? ### Should There Be the Marketing of Body Parts? #### CASE STUDY**Essentials of Health Care Marketing, Fifth Edition** *Eric N. Berkowitz*---### The Ethics of Donor TransplantsEach year in the United States, there is a significant wait list for donors for heart, liver, and kidney transplants. Many states have allowed individuals to indicate whether they would be willing donors should it be necessary if they were in a tragic automobile accident, and thus have such an indication for donation identified on their driver's license. In fact, in some countries, research has indicated whether it is best to ask for individuals for such a donation or indicate the person is a donor unless they want to deny consent as a way to increase the donor pool of available eligible transplants.

However, for those in need of a body part, it is a life-saving question. In the United States, the selling of a body part has been illegal for decades. However, body parts are available through rather unsavory sources in many overseas countries. That said, the deceased Pope John II had noted that the selling of any body part was a "violation of the dignity of the human person." In a 2005 meeting of the American Transplantation Congress, as a way to monitor the rapid rise in wait time had actually
