Inmates and Transplants
The topic I chose for my research paper is whether a prison inmate deserves to receive an organ transplant. This topic is very controversial because unlike other medical treatments organ transplants require an actual supply of human resources. ... Did these inmates deserve to receive their transplants over a law abiding, tax paying citizen? ... The outbreak of Hepatitis C among inmates is also on the rise. With this rise will also come the need for liver transplants. ... Should the inmates receive things such as first-aid, stitches, immunizations, and common over the counter medications? ... However, should inmates receive chemotherapy or major operations? ... The inmates would also have to work within the prison to pay for their insurance. If the inmates want to receive equal health care then they should have to obtain it the same way anyone else would have to. ...
As attorney Rando Wick of Seattle argued in a point/counterpoint article in the June 10, 1996, issue of Physicians Weekly, "If Supreme Court decisions from the 1970s justify state-funded organ transplants for prisoners, then any non-prisoner denied such treatment, arguably, is denied equal protection under the 14th Amendment.
