FInal term paper. Medical ethics
Topic Selection:
Organ Donation and Transplantation; the principles of Altruisms and Utilitarianism.
This is the explanation of why I choose the topic you can have an idea.
I select the topic of Organ Donation and Transplantation based on the principles of altruism and Utilitarianism because I believe that this must have to be done with disinterest and selfless for the happiness and well –being of others. The organ donation should be done focused in the benefit and impact of those who received it. This has to have the intention to help and saved the life of those who need it. Along also with the concept of utilitarianism where every donation and transplantation should have the intention of “do not harm”. According to Utilitarianism the donation and transplantation should be seek to increase the greater good and benefit for the greater amount of people. This meaning that, within this process, those who donate an organ where still have a life to live should be as beneficial as those who received the transplant. I think this topic is very interesting and have a lot to talk about and there is many moral principles to look at it as provider and Doctor or as donor and recipient.

· Discuss the technical aspects of your topic in general terms.
· Discuss the public policy debates relevant to the topic you choose. This section should cover arguments that are in favor of and opposed to the use of the techniques or products.
