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?
