The Ethics of Cross-Border Organ Transplants
00:01:37
|
|
We don't want Americans to participate in any way, shape, or form in this kind of organ harvesting and transplantation scheme.
|
|
Now they advertise that, and you can actually make an appointment, sit in America, make an appointment for a heart-lung transplant in China right now.
|
|
But I want to make that illegal.
|
|
And I mean, literally go to prison, pay fines type of legal.
|
|
So criminal and civil penalties on this.
|
|
And I think it's a very popular idea to do that.
|
|
Having said that, it's very tough to talk about organ harvesting with anybody, even in Congress.
|
|
And the reason for it is it's such an appallingly bad idea.
|
|
People are, they shrivel away from it.
|
|
When you say, let's talk about organ harvesting, they just look down at the floor and gag and walk away.
|
|
It's just so bad.
|
|
And it sort of says something that this is happening.
|
|
So this act actually does block any organs from Americans from receiving them.
|
|
They also lose their right to medical care in the United States afterwards.
|
|
So you come back for a little post-off follow-up in America?
|
|
Nope.
|
|
And then the other thing that it does is we can't bring organs over here.
|
|
And that's a more subtle problem than we think because it's possible to actually preserve some organs that are harvested at the time of death.
|
|
Bone grafts, placental, cordias, these things.
