IS IT OKAY TO USE DEAD PEOPLES BODY PARTS?




I understand and respect everyone's point of view on this topic. I stand strong by what I believe. Personally, I still believe that it is up to the person to decide if they want to use their body parts or not. People should be given the chance to decide what they would like to do with "their" bodies. As I said before in my first blog, selling of body parts is unethical and just not right. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. One article I read really shocked me. A young 27 year old man said he was in fact a organ donor. Stephen Banks agreed to donate every organ except for his precious "eyes". He recieved a letter stating they were happy he donated every single part of his body. Stephen knew this was a mistake, he was too scared to call and make the correction. This shows how rutheless even companies are now turning. Don't get me wrong, I feel that it is perfectly fineto donate body parts. My concern is not the donation, it is the stealing of the organs. Records are even changed to show that the people became donors. Of course this is not true. Family members also have a say so in the matter. It would be nice if the family of the dead were asked. Don't you think? My opinion will always remain the same about the situation. Bottom line, if consent was not given while the people were alive then you can not take the organs while they are dead.

IS IT OKAY TO USE DEAD PEOPLES BODY PARTS?

IS IT OKAY TO USE DEAD PEOPLES BODY PARTS?
There is a serious debate arrising around the world pertaining to the usuage of dead peoples body parts. Personally I do not agree with the idea of tampering with dead peoples remains.

If the dead person did not specify when they were living that they were organ donors, then what gives someone the right to use their body? According to Dr.Mastromarino using the deceased peoples body parts was acceptable. The doctor became a corpse body snatcher. He made millions of dollars off of the selling of the dead people. The harvesting of human tissue from funeral homes led the sneaky doctor to face a 18-54 year sentence to prison for the terrible crime. Dr. Mastromarino's point of view was quite troublesome. Some people may say, why does it really matter, is the person not dead? Believe it or not its the fact of respect that shadows the needs and wants for the body parts. Many people around the world are involved in this illegal scandal. Some in it for the money, and some in desperate need of body parts, for themselves.
