Answer:

1. Indeed, the great paradox of deceased donation is that we must draw the line between life and death precisely where we cannot be sure of the answer, because the line must lie where the donor is dead but the donor's organs are not.

2. Brain death has been reduced as a result of improved automotive safety and reduced crime.

3. The adoption of the legalized and compensated living-unrelated donor renal transplant program in 1988 eliminated the need for Iranian patients for commercial or illegal paid transplants abroad.

4. Singapore is preparing to pay donors as much as 50,000 ... Israel is implementing a "no give, no take"

5. You do this part :)

6. It's a weakens because that's the whole point. (Add more to this if you'd like)

7. Tabarrok understands the ways in which financial factors drive people and shape society in a way that physicians or members of the clergy may not. He looks at things more logically and focuses on the idea of supply and demand and uses this perspective to think of ways in which the organ donation system could be improved, which works well for him.

8. Whatever the context, compensation for organs is illegal under Section 301 of the National Organ Transplant Act: “It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human organ for valuable consideration” (Public Law 98-507).
