Essаy:  This sectiоn tests yоur knоwledge of the ethicаl doctrines by аnalyzing ethical dilemmas from the Rawlsian (contractarian), libertarian, and utilitarian perspectives.  Each response should be one to two paragraphs in length and is worth 10 points.   The American Kidney Fund regularly reports how many US citizens are on the national transplant waiting list in need of a kidney and the number is consistently around 100,00, which doesn't include persons on dialysis who opt not to go on the waitlist. At this time, the only technological means to help these people is to go through dialysis, which is a time-intensive, three-times a week procedure that removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood. Currently there is no legitimate market for kidneys since the only means to acquire them are through cadavers or voluntary organ donors. Examine this situation from a utilitarian perspective. Should the US consider creating an organ market in which donors should be paid for their services? What concepts would guide a utilitarian in making this decision?
