AN OPEN LETTER TO THE U.S. CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS; HOW TO
SOLVE THE U.S. ORGAN DONOR SHORTAGE.
George Malik al-Mahdi
In our past, a book was written by Adam Smith, titled " The Wealth of
Nations. " Adam Smith argued that greed is like an invisible hand that
has the power to transform the lust for money into a force, beneficial
to the common good. Greed would inspire competition, the " producer
class ", out of greed and self-interest, would compete with others in the
"producer class" by offering their goods for lower prices.
Inevitably, this would be a great blessing to the " consumer class. "
Since this open letter concerns the Organ Donar shortage, a discussion
about the flaws of the " trickle down economic theory " described above
is a discussion for another time. However, a " snippet " of this
theory can be used to solve the ever growing shortage of viable organs
needed by people in need of immediate transplants.
The solution to the aforementioned problem is relatively simple. A
Bill should be introduced, proposing that organ donars be given the choice
of DONATING THEIR ORGANS TO OTHER ORGAN DONARS. If a person is not an
organ donar him/herself, their eligibility to recieve the
aforementioned organs would be severely limited.
What nobility would exist in introducing such a Bill? If a Bill of
this type became Law, many, many more people would sign up to become organ
donars for their own benefit. With certainty, the numbers of people
who sometimes die waiting for organ transplants would decrease.
As an African American "Scientist" , I've seen, firsthand, the hurt
inflicted upon patients and families alike, due to this problem. It would
bring me great pleasure, and personal satisfaction, if such a Bill,
with such powerful social implications for the welfare of our society,
were introduced by people of Color.
I hope you will convene, one with another, to see that such a Bill is
introduced into Congress.
