Week 1 CU 1 DADULA

During the 1990s, a slum in Metro Manila became known as a place to harvest kidneys, as impoverished residents would allow themselves to become donors for financial compensation to help patients with renal failure receive transplants. However, selling a healthy organ is unethical when legal jobs could provide income without health risks, and it would be better to work diligently than risk one's own kidney health for money.

During the 90's a slum in Metro Manila became popular in the medical world because it

has become a place to harvest kidneys. For a good amount of money residence in that area
allowed themselves to become donor to "help" patients with renal failure get a transplant.

- do you think it is unethical? why or why not? what is your stand?

For my opinion, it is unethical to give away a healthy organ for the sake of money.
Earning money from working a steady legal job is an example of an ethical way to survive from
poverty. If I were to be in the shoes of a slum dweller (a person who lives in a slum), I’d rather
work laboriously than putting myself at risk with renal failure myself with only one kidney.
