 Millions of people worldwide are living their lives with dysfunctional kidneys, many of which must undergo routine dialysis in order to survive. Dialysis, although life-saving, is expensive, inconvenient, and time-consuming. And many patients would do nearly anything in order to lead a “normal” life again. Unfortunately, this has opened up an industry, which specializes in the illegal trafficking of human organs. Although Iran is the only country in which the sale of human organs is legal, many other countries do not readily enforce laws against this practice, which allows those with the means to do so to “buy” an organ for transplant. Here’s a report from Newsy World to explain what’s happening in Nepal:

Part A

After watching this video, address the first question based on your thoughts supported by research. Include with your post the research references in APA style format. Post your reply by Tuesday. After posting begin your textbook reading to complete Part B and Part C.

Question #1: Should the sale of human organs be legal? If not, who is culpable: The buyer? The broker? The physician who harvests the organ? Or the physician who transplants the organ? Should there be any repercussions for the donor?

Part B

For the second part of the discussion, you will apply what you have learned from the course materials in this module. By Thursday, create and post separately, two well-crafted questions for your classmates to answer. Each question must include at least 3 - 5 sentences of background information before the questions are asked. You must start each question post with “CLASSMATE QUESTION.” Please be sure to research your questions and add references in APA style format.

Part C

For the last part of the discussion, you will thoroughly respond to two of your classmate’s questions. Each classmate response must be at least 3 – 5 sentences. When responding to your classmate’s questions you must start with "CLASSMATE RESPONSE." This will assure that you are given proper credit for all posts. Please be sure to research your answers and add references in APA style format.
