“Global social justice.”  It is an excellent but overwhelming goal.  We rightly care about fellow human beings who are cut off from basic goods like clean water, basic education, and healthcare.  Their needs are staggering.  Yet, those who are most vulnerable to exploitation are often not those who need something, but those who have something that others desperately want.  These victims are the poor and disadvantaged who are the targets of organ trafficking. 

The United States notably has little federal or state regulations pertaining to the assisted reproductive technology (ART) industry. This is in contrast to other developed nations, which provide more extensive regulations on the use of ART and in many cases restrict its use for certain ends, such as reproductive cloning. While some of these regulations may not be ideal, they are steps taken to ensure the health and safety of women utilizing ART and the children resulting from these technologies, as well as the ethical use of ART by all participants.
