Organ Market

IN other countries such as IRAN organs can be bought and sold on the open market. Should the distribution of organs continue to be controlled by the government in the US as it is today.


I think that the US government control over the distribution of organ should be continued in terms of regulation of market price. To be specific, the demand of organ is extremely high while the supply of organ is low. This is because the supply of organ is highly limited and hard to meet the demand of the increasing number of patients who need organ transplantation. Considering the law of supply and demand, such an unavailability of organ for patients may induce very high market price, which most people cannot afford it except high-class people. From this point, when the amount of supply cannot meet the one of demands, the government should impose quantity restrictions on the market. As for the restriction, the government should ban the ownership or trading of goods such as human organ.
