were waiting for an organ transplant. Of these, several thousand are expected to die while waiting for organ transplants (Rucke, 2013). Why should we allow death to come to someone who needs a heart or a kidney to save his life? Isn't human life worth more? I am in favor of organ donation, but I feel that human organ donation should not be done in a black market manner. Someone who desperately needs an organ might not even wonder where the organ came from? The most popular human organ sold on the black market is kidneys (Rucke, 2013). Kidneys are the best-selling human organs because people are born with two organs and can live healthy lives with just one (Rucke, 2013). Selling a kidney on the black market usually sells for around 1,000.00 (Rucke, 2013). Many Israelis give up their organs to the person who will pay the most money but then end up being the victim of a scandal and left without their organ or money (Rucke, 2013). In 2009 the FBI discovered that people in Israel were purchasing organs for 10,000.00 and selling them for 160,000.00 (Rucke, 2013). Donors receive little or no money, while the groups organizing the sale earn a lot
