Analysis of "Organs Will Save Lives"

The author's thesis states "governments should not ban the sale of human organs, they should regulate it. Lives should not be wasted, they should be saved". He then gives a brief background over the complications and downfalls of other procedures provided to people in need of organs. He states why these methods are poorly executed and also only short term solutions. He then tells us why there is no good reason to outlaw kidney sales. And states his opinion on why it is relatively safe and a much better option than other treatment. He says there are thousands of people willing to donate their organs for money, so why would we not use them? He also says that a live organ donor will experience little to no complications and a live kidney can last a person an entire lifetime, unlike a dead mans kidney which will only last about ten years. Then the author brings up an opposing view, given by Pope John Paul II. it states that the sale of organs is against moral standards and should not be legal or regulated. The author counters this by saying it isn't the popes job to tell the whole world what is right and wrong and that his idea of moral standards are not proven absolute facts, but rather opinions. He then sums up his point in a short paragraph and restates his thesis in the conclusion.
