Review the potential options regarding methods to increase organ supply. Select the one that seems most ethical and practical to you and defend your choice

The chapter offers a graphic listing of seven different ways that society could increase organ supply, along with a discussion of the pros and cons for many of them. The answer should show an understanding of the selection and reflect rational choice and understanding of associated ethical problems.
a . Mandated choice—requires all competent adults to decide and record whether they wish to become organ donors at their death
b. Presumed consent—would allow the routine salvage of organs unless the donor opts out
d. Financial incentives—creation of a commercial market in organs
e. Xenografting—the ability to use animal organs as permanent replacements for failing human organs
f. Altering the current meaning of death—creation of a neocortical definition
g. Use of condemned prisoner organs—organ donation from executed prisoners has generally been deemed to be unethical unless the individual made the decision to donate prior to conviction
