Analysis on Joanna McKay's Organ Sales Will Save Lives
For Joanna McKay's essay, Organ Sales Will Save Lives, McKay begins her essay by supporting her opinion on whether or not governments should ban the sale of organs in a two-sentence thesis 'statement': "Governments should not ban the sale of human organs; they should regulate it. Lives should not be wasted; they should be saved."
In the body of her paper, McKay goes on to support her opinion with various paragraphs devoted to opponents of her argument, which she addresses and defeats to solidify her own reasoning. In paragraph 10, for example, she argues that proponents of the illegality of organ donation for profit are affluent and don't understand the desire poor donors have to willingly receive money for the services given through their donations. In other paragraphs, McKay argues that donors will begin disappearing if not given the incentive for money (¶11), and also that despite current bans on the poor donating organs, they continue to participate in such behavior, which translates into allowing something that will occur despite laws (¶12). In the upcoming paragraphs, McKay encourages regulation---not illegality---because this will benefit not only the patient's long wait, it will cut back on the criminality of illegal organ donors and reward donors instead of punishing them (¶13-16).
McKay breaks her essay into several different sections: First, she addresses the problem and states her thesis. Secondly, she cites some statistics dealing with the need for organ donors. Thirdly, she speaks about the facts of illegal donations of organs. Once she has set up this backdrop, she begins to discuss the protests of others against the legalization of poor donors and their main complaints. She addresses these with her own viewpoint on such matters, and finally, explains her own way of fixing the problem through regulation of legal donations of organs. She ends her paper with a thought-provoking question and paragraph.
