Random thoughts

Stick to the family for another paragraph. Then discuss how organ donation affects doctors. This can lead into how some people feel that if they sign an organ donor card then it could possibly mean that their level of medical care will somehow be less because they need organs for donation. This can lead into organ cards, presumed consent and the add campaigns to increase organ donation. Finally talk about how all of these things have not been working so far and that financial incentives have been suggested as the means of increasing donation rates. Ethical problems that arise form this type of arrangement. Only wealthy people could afford to pay for organs or the insurance required for transplants, in retrospect the influence that offering incentives could paossible have on those on lesser wealth. Then conclude with the conclusion you wrote in class but emphasizing all the points again... crisis with a cure.
