Should there be a market for Organ?

A doctor proposed a novel solution to a mother, whose son needed a kidney transplant by donating one of his son kidney to a stranger, so that her son would move to the top of the kidney waiting list. Soon the patients had the transplant they were waiting for, trading a kidney for a kidney.

As a matter of public policy, people are not allowed to sell their organ. The deal in the above case did not felt under the prohibition because no cash is exchange.

Donation of organ would be ethical and moral move when G-d itself first tranplsnt Adams ribs into Eve!

Most deceased organ donors are brain dead Brain death can be confusing, particularly for families who are confronted with the sudden death of someone they love because a brain dead person on a ventilator can feel warm to the touch and can look "alive." The heart is still beating and the ventilator is pushing oxygen and air into the lungs making the person's chest rise and fall. But to be brain dead is to be dead, and no improvement or recovery is possible.

How much is the value of life worth?

Lalu dolled out Rs 5 lacs to each lives lost in the recent Orissa train accident. It makes sense about how mush is the value of life in terms of money. One approach sometime used by courts to award damage in wrongful death suits, is to looks at the total amounts of money a person would have earned if he or she had lived. But it has some bizarre implication that the life of a retired or disabled person has no value.
A better ways to value human life is to look at the risk that people are voluntarily willing to take and how much they must be paid for taking them.Construction worker face riskier than Office worker do.By comparing wages in risky and less risky occupation and other determinant, the value of human life is worth $10 millions.

Going green or brown

US president Barack Obama's energy plan to greater use of ethanol, aiming to cut dependence on oil might worsen the situation. For production of ethanol millions of tonnes of crops like maize, sugarcane is needed, which if, the plan really takes off, it is likely that a huge chunks of farmers might switch to production of these crops which, eventually would led to increase in global food prices( because the production of other varieties of crops will decrease, which will increase demand and ultimately push the prices up) and India's situation wouldn't be better off either. Where growing sugarcane is water intensive and increased production of the crops is going to deplete the water level, which is already dangerously low. Add to this large scale diversion of land which could affects others production, of course deforestation. It could pump far more CO2 into the atmosphere than they possibly save as replacement for fossils fuel. But the success story of Brazil which practice the concept has reduced the country dependency on oils and cleaned up the transport industry to a great extent.One innovation could offers a solution, that could significantly cut down the world dependence on oil and save the planet, that is Electric car and the other option being Hydrogen car
