Cash for Kidneys
Instructions
Millions of people worldwide are living their lives with dysfunctional kidneys, many of which must undergo routine dialysis in order to survive. Dialysis, although lifesaving, is expensive, inconvenient, and time-consuming. And many patients would do nearly anything in order to lead a “normal” life again. Unfortunately, this has opened up an industry, which specializes in the illegal trafficking of human organs. Although Iran is the only country in which the sale of human organs is legal, many other countries do not readily enforce laws against this practice, which allows those with the means to do so to “buy” an organ for transplant. Watch this report from Newsy World to explain what’s happening in Nepal.

Module 5 Reflection Journal
Reflection Journal
The Reflection Journal is an oral assignment this week. You'll create a journal adhering to the following guidelines. Reflection Journals provide you with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of course materials; record your thoughts on what you've learned and how it can be applied in your life or career; inquire, analyze, and evaluate ideas; and raise pending questions or issues.
Instructions
Approach this assignment with the intention of being challenged.
Evaluate your personal reaction to key concepts you have learned so far.
Share how the materials covered may be related to your personal life and/or present or future career.
What did you learn from the materials covered thus far?
An oral response involves creating a 1-2 minute video clip (and a text transcript). You will need to include a transcript or closed captions with your video in order to make it accessible for people with hearing disabilities. The easiest way to do this is to write out a script in advance and attach this to your post as a transcript.
You may use Canvas Rich Content Editor tools to record or upload a file from your computer. If your video has captions, you do not need to upload a transcript; however, if your video does not have captions you will need to upload a text file containing your transcript.
