Ultimately, organ donations are not beneficial to society. People will abandon restrainful lives. They well-to-do will indulge themselves more in pleasures and vices. They feel any mis-hap to any of their body parts could be overcome either through treatment or as a last resort , by organ transplants.
People in general will not be motivated to insist on chemical/pesticide free food-products, for their consumption. Polluted air, water and food is one of the major reasons for organ failure, and if it affects a pregnant mother, it may affect the child in the womb too in many unforseen ways. That is, the harmful effects of pollutants will be carried forward to successive generations. eg. Bhopal, Chernobyl and Kasargod (Endosulphan) .Further people will become careless about their life style and consumption patterns, which is sure to intrude into other peoples's lives. eg. Chembanmudy quarries in Kerala. The people around is reported to have contracted respiratory diseases, due to quarry dust.
Post operative care is very expensive and ordinary citizens will find themselves between the devil and deep sea. Situations may arise in the family, where organ donation for/to a family member may lead to contentious issues. Medical industry which is the ultimate beneficiary is sure to exploit the situation. An MBBS seat now costs up-ward of fifty lakhs.The ordinary citizen is scared and uncertain about two expenses. Medical & Educational.The option to go in for organ transplant, due to societial and peer pressure, are sure to strain family resources further. Instead of the public promoting organ donation & transplants, they should seek ways and means to arrest and wipe out completely, organ failures among its members. Prevention is sure to be better than cure. - Finally in the larger context, organ donation is NOT A VIRTUOUS ACT.
