Problem:
Consider the medical and legal issues regarding organ transplant. Currently, there are two different types of organ donor lists; there is an adult list and a children's list. There are different rules and regulations for both of these lists. Obviously, there is a longer wait and more scarcity for the children's list. Children as young as eight years old can successfully receive adult organs for transplant, but there are rules that prohibit this.
Do you think children should or should not be allowed to receive adult organs if they are compatible? Why, or why not?
As you respond to your classmates, discuss the rationale for your position.
