POST-TRUTH
In 2009, the Philippine government halted a planned kidney transplant from a Filipina wife to her Saudi Arabian
husband. It was discovered that the couple had only been married for a short time and that the man did not
know how to speak in English or Filipino, while the wife could not speak Arabic --- a situation that raised a lot of
suspicion on the part of the authorities. The government’s allegation was that the planned transplant was not
really an organ donation, which Philippine law allows, but was, in actuality, a case of an organ sale, which is
tantamount to organ trafficking prohibited by law. One possible reason for the woman’s consent to this alleged
deal is the widespread poverty among Filipinos. Although organ trafficking is patently illegal in the Philippines
and in many other nations, it continues to be tempting possibility, especially for impoverished individuals, to earn
some much-needed cash. Most people are born with two kidneys, and an individual can live on a single kidney.
Supposing that the transplant will be done under strict medical supervision, that there is a shortage of available
kidney donors, and setting aside the clear illegal status of organ trafficking, is it really wrong for a person in
great financial need to sell one of her kidneys to someone who requires a transplant to survive and who is
willing and able to offer a generous amount of cash?

The question above identified and explained the steps in making informed decisions when confronted with moral
problems. Apply now all six steps to the question “Is selling one of my kidneys to a paying customer
morally defensible?” Write down your application below:

Step 1: Determine your involvement in the moral situation

Answer: As a student, I must suggest that whosoever is in need of a kidney transplant must tell the truth about
their situation so as the persons who are in authority to perform and approved their appeal to donate for a kidney
transplant will understand them and maybe give them an advice or do another option to solve their problem in a
legal approach.

Step 2: Gather all the necessary facts

Answer: Kidney transplantation or renal transplantation is the organ transplant of a kidney into a patient with
end-stage kidney disease. Kidney transplantation is typically classified as deceased-donor (formerly known as
cadaveric) or living-donor transplantation depending on the source of the donor organ. Living-donor kidney
transplants are further characterized as genetically related (living-related) or non-related (living-unrelated)
transplants, depending on whether a biological relationship exists between the donor and recipient.

In the developing world some people sell their organs illegally. Such people are often in grave poverty or are
exploited by salespersons. The people who travel to make use of these kidneys are often known as 'transplant
tourists'. This practice is opposed by a variety of human rights groups, including Organs Watch, a group
established by medical anthropologists, which was instrumental in exposing illegal international organ selling
rings. These patients may have increased complications owing to poor infection control and lower medical and
surgical standards. One surgeon has said that organ trade could be legalized in the UK to prevent such tourism,
but this is not seen by the National Kidney Research Fund as the answer to a deficit in donors.

Step 3: Identify the stakeholders

Answer: The stakeholders are the patients (predialysis, pretransplantation and post-transplantation groups),
nephrology and transplantation nurses, social workers, nephrologists, health insurers and policymakers.

Step 4: Name all the alternative choices possible and their potential effects on all stakeholders

Answer: The alternative choices possible and their potential effects on all stakeholders involved in organ
transplantation is whether a person has a right to enjoy life on the basis of organs donation to others, though
organs come through donation, gift, or sale is a matter of individual choice and conditions. Even if a person gives
his organ eagerly and without any thought as to compensation as he suffers harm to his body but we have laws to
be followed and once the stakeholders will go against the law they might be facing a case and able to put them on
jail.
Step 5: Identify the type of ethical issue at hand

Answer: The type of ethical issue at hand is conflicts of interest, issues of honesty and integrity and refusing to
rationalize.

Step 6: Make your ethical conclusion or decision

Answer: As a student I must say that whatever maybe the circumstances we experience we must not put
ourselves on a point like committing a crime or facing a case against what we are doing. We must not rush
our decisions rather we have to analyzed on the things that we are go to do so if does it brings positive
effects or does it a good choice and help us solve the problem.
