In the episode I chose, “Epitaph One,” the main concept is how power was imperative to make the corporation work well. In the end the power was abused which led to ethical issues and people being taken advantage of. Originally when I viewed organ trafficking I looked at it as a way where everyone ends up happy and gets what they want. The donor, who is in most cases from a third world country, gets paid a large sum of money in return for their organ. This money could ultimately change their lives and allow for a better life for their families. The patient would also benefit because they would receive an organ and hopefully regain their health. After viewing my episode and analyzing my specific scene I came to realize that the process was unethical and not to mention illegal. In the scene Adelle realizes that her company was about to abuse their power over the doll’s bodies when they decided to perform complete anatomy transplants. The situation is similar to organ trafficking. The poor people who are donors are unaware of the risks, complications, and problems they will face for the rest of their lives. Because their main line of work is in the field of labor, having only one kidney makes it near impossible to do the physical demanding work. Wealthy patients take advantage of the vulnerable and desperate poor to get what they want. Money and authority assist in making it possible for the rich to abuse their power.
