Understanding Market Forces: Demand, Supply, and Elasticity
Demand
Demand refers to the quantity of a commodity that buyers desire at any given price. Several variables determine demand:
Price of Good
Quantity demanded moves inversely to price. If the price rises, consumption decreases, and vice versa.
Income
Normally, if consumer income increases, consumption of goods also increases (normal goods). However, for some goods (inferior goods), increased income may lead to decreased consumption as consumers switch to higher-quality alternatives.

Transplants
When a person is declared legally dead but their organs are still viable, they may become an organ donor. After a short preservation period, most tissues and organs can be transplanted into another person. The viability window varies by organ; kidneys can last over 48 hours, while the pancreas has a 24-hour limit. Before transplantation, doctors perform compatibility tests to minimize the risk of immune system rejection.
Once compatibility is confirmed, the recipient undergoes surgery.
