Technorati search
For this post i used my informative paper to compare to a post i had found on Technorati. I searched poultry farming on Technorati and one post came up. That post was titled the unappetizing realities of factory-farmed meat. (http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/69512 ) The author of this article is Ransom Riggs and it was posted on October 5 2010 at 11:40 am. Is seems as though he tries to post a new blog everyday or close to it. Riggs does utilize hyperlinks well in his posts most of the time he will actually have pictures or videos themselves in his post and other articles as well. The next post i looked at was titled Chic Modern Chicken Coop Grows a Green Roof. (http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/25/chic-modern-chicken-coop-with-living-rooftop/). The author of this blog is Diane Pham and the post came from the blog architecture. The post was written on October 25 2010. The blog was written in a more personal sense it had a story to tell about the people involved and their idea of their chicken coop.

Response blog
After reading the post written by Adam Vander Pas titles Organs for Sale? i thought that it was well written and informative. I also think that he has a very valid opinion. His opinion being that if people were allowed to sell their organs legally it would only cause more harm than good. He used that idea that if the selling of organs was legal that people would only sell their organs rather that donate and the organs would only go to the highest bidder. This is a very valid point that i agree with if it were to be the case. After reading his article from opinions of my own it only leads me to have to believe that if it were the case that organs could be legally sold then there would have to be a reliable socialistic system in place because in the case of life or death everyone i believe deserves the right to live.

To sell or not to sell?
Yes i think a person has the right to sell one of their organs if desired. After all its their body they have the right to do so what they want with it. If it is legal to harm your body by such things as smoking or drinking which are not a good thing, then why can't people do something good with their body for a change and save a life. I understand what the argument would be there would be poor people on the street wanting to see their kidneys and there would be alcoholics who would receive a liver only because they trashed their own. But that is where the process of organ selling needs to be different from any other market in the United States it needs to be regulated. For example companies are allowed to feed society food that has been proven to cause cancer and is highly unhealthy for you or sell you cigarettes which most likely will cause you to end up with lung cancer if you become addicted. If only the government would step in and take control of what could be a good thing that is the selling of organs i don't see how it could be a bad thing. This is something that should really be considered the pros definitely out weight the cons. When you look at the example of kidney transplants there are so many people who have to wait for a kidney and shouldn't have to because there are far to many people willing to sell it. Also in this case the people in need are willing to pay the money whatever it takes, life is priceless isn't it? So why not regulate who would be selling an organ make them go through rigorous testing and back round check if they turn out to be healthy, then i don't see why it can't work. I also believe if it were to happen all of the illegal selling that goes on right now and isn't good because of the fact that people are desperate and don't know what they would be receiving would be something of the past because it would be legal. After reading the article my opinion hasn't changed. i agree with what the article has to say bringing up the point that we should be able to sell organs it just has to be done right.
