This health economics assessment analyzes three key areas: organ donation, life expectancy, and the full moon's impact. The first section examines the global shortage of organ donors, exploring the demand and supply dynamics, the role of government, and the influence of price elasticity. The second section investigates the decline in life expectancy in the working adult population in the United States, focusing on the impact of socio-economic disparities, such as financial stress, lack of stable housing, and limited access to healthcare, which are considered as major social determinants of health. The final section critically evaluates the belief that full moon nights are associated with busier emergency rooms, comparing research findings and discussing potential biases among healthcare workers, including the use of the term 'lunatic' and implicit biases related to race and socio-economic status. The report integrates economic principles with public health concerns, offering a comprehensive analysis of these interconnected issues.
