Organ Market | Rohan Panday | TEDxYouth@SAS

Rohan Panday, a junior at the Singapore American School, believes that the current system of organ transplantation around the world is in dire need of reform. While he acknowledges both the stigma surrounding market systems and the moral implications of such a system, he does believe that it is perfectly realistic and viable. Rohan Panday, a junior at the Singapore American School, believes that the current system of organ transplantation around the world is in dire need of reform. While he acknowledges both the stigma surrounding market systems and the moral implications of such a system, he does believe that it is perfectly realistic and viable. Rohan was born in New York, USA, and like many third culture kids, he has lived in the US, UK, Switzerland, India, and now Singapore. Rohan’s interest in the economics of organ transplantation is newfound but was inspired by the work of an expert in this field who is also a professor at UCEMA and the University of Chicago. In his free time, you can find Rohan reading novels about Einstein’s dreams, playing squash, singing Italian arias, collecting NASA merchandise, or rewatching episodes of The Big Bang Theory. In the future, Rohan hopes to continue advocating for the merits of this idea while also pursuing engineering, the sciences, or applied mathematics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
