Document Summary

*presumed consent: it will be assumed that people wish to donate, unless they sign a form explicitly indicating otherwise. (not as many people would go out of their way to deny permission to use organs, resulting in more donors) * punish/reward: gives priority to those who themselves are organ donors, there are different versions. 1- organ donors given priority as organ recipients, 2- Non-organ donors go to bottom of waiting lists for organs, 3- non-organ donors not eligible for organ transplants. Transplant tourism refers to individuals travelling to another country for a transplant. The shortage of organ donors and long wait times has resulted in a black market. It is known/ common for people who receive transplants abroad to develop medical problems due to the poor care they received abroad, should they be treated in their main country even though they in a way cheated the system .
