MORALITY VS OUR LOVED ONES
It is no news that social media and maybe even the country is buzzing with the story of Ike Ekweremadu and the allegation of organ harvesting. That's right - a one time deputy senate president and his wife have been arrested in the UK, for bringing on the charge of child trafficking and organ harvesting. According to the story, the couple arranged to bring in a 15 years old boy into the UK, as a kidney donor for their daughter in need of a transplant. This is just the summary, the full details can be gotten via a quick Google search. If guilty, this is truly a reprehensible and disgraceful behavior from such a political figure. And it goes without saying, it is a huge shame to the entire nation. Now we have condemned the act, let us have an uncomfortable discourse. Can it be said that the Ekweremadus acted from a place of desperation? The fear of losing their daughter perhaps clouded their moral consciousness and made them willing to do anything to save her. One of the most difficult things a man can face, is having his morality tested. We never truly know what we are capable of until we are faced with such a situation. Sure it is easy - very easy, to hypothetically make decisions. It is comfortable having to pass judgement when we are not the ones in the situation. But let's ponder on the question; how far are we willing to go for the ones we love? While I found myself in the process of condemning the Ekweremadus, I had to ask myself inwardly; given the same situation, would you be tempted to do the same? I've watched my mother have to mourn a child, and I can tell that is the greatest pain a parent can go through. At such point, morality is questioned. And vulnerability sets in. At such times, one is almost willing to do anything. It is definitely a horrible period for Ike Ekweremadu and his family. On one end is the possibility of a long jail term. And on the other, the likelihood of losing a daughter. In all of this, all I can wish for, is not to be placed in such a situation of having to choose between moral consciousness and a loved one.
