• There are limitations and issues based on consent, sources of organs , buying and selling of organs on Black Market and private contracts with the poor in other countries.
• Some would say that people have a right to a transplant, others would disagree. How do you react to these questions?

• Do people have a right to have children?
• What does Judeo-Christian Tradition teach?
