Response blog

I agree with Madison's point of view on the topic of organ sales. she believes no one should be able to put a price on a life. She brought up a different perspective that I did not think about. The fact that the people recieving the organs would have to purchase them in an auction type setting. This would in turn create internal competition among the sick, instead of the current list (top priority recieves the organs). The people who may be in more need for the organs may not recieve them due to money issues. However the issue of having rights over your body still come up. Even though this is ethically/ morally wrong, how can someone tell another what to do with their own bodies? Whether to legalize organ selling or organ purchasing remains a unknown. Whatever happens it will create controversy and I still think after reading a different blog that both sides have valid points. However, Madison, to me, proves that being morally responsible is a better choice than being greedy(money hungry). Everyone will have different opinions on the topic and I don't think there is really a right answer. Whether one looks at Madisons perspective, my own, or the author of the required article, different and valid points will pop up. They all have valid points.
