Reflection: Gave My Kidney to a Stranger to Save My Brother’s Life
I need an article reflection about a non-academic article. Here's what I'm required to do:
1. What is the central message (brief description /summary/) of the video(s) / article (s)? Please avoid retelling. A good place to start is to explore which variables are related in this article. Remember the related articles are frequently called dependent variable(s)and independent variable(s).
2.How are these articles/videos connected to concepts/ frameworks in economics?–It is not sufficient to say that this article is an application of the concept of “opportunity cost”; you have to convince the reader to explain why this article is an application of “opportunity cost”.
3.Do you agree or disagree with the central message of the video(s)/article(s)that you are reading/watching for this article reflection? What do you agree with and what do you disagree with? Critically assess the reading/video using the lens of economic concepts or economic framework. This is where you need to be persuasive. You can use data, numbers, tables, graphs from other sources. You can also research online and find out what happened after the incident/story that is reported in this article/video. These sources need to be cited. Again, it is not enough to say this article relates to demand and supply. You have to convince the reader why this article relates to this particular framework.
4.What are the possible implications of the “policy” mentioned in the article? Do you have unanswered questions regarding these policies? This is the deep and thought-provoking part of the reflection.
The economic concepts mentioned in no.2 doesn't have to be really deep or complicated, as long as it's explained nicely and thoroughly.

Summary / Main Point/ Central Issue
The article focuses on an organ donation program that helped four patients get kidneys from strangers when it had been challenging to get organ donations from even close family members. The writer Yogita Patel also talks about her brother Pesh, who required a kidney at 40 years while in Melbourne, Australia, and away from his home in Houston. Getting kidney transplants is challenging, and the transplants tend to be from dead people and no anonymous donors with no family ties with the kidney recipients. Sometimes, patients stay on dialysis for long before they get kidneys without transplant rejection. Anonymous donors donating kidneys for transplantation have been essential to avoid delays and reach kidney transplant patients who would otherwise wait for long to get transplants.
Connection to Economics
Organ donor transplantation requires markets where there is the matching of the transplant donors and recipients. The article shows greater demand for organ donations than the supply, which partly explains why there are delays in donated organs in time. Finding compatible donors is essential in organ donation, and the failure to access organ donations indicates there has been a market failure in the organ donation and exchange programs. This is especially the case with living-donor kidney transplants, where but paired donation solves some of the problems in organ donation since matching donors are paired with recipients, and non-matching donors also donate to others when they match. In this way, strangers donate if they find the intended recipient incompatible, where they donate to an...
