“…This is proven by the research conducted by the Pew Research Center, which places Indonesia at the top of the ranking as a religious country. As many as 96% of Indonesian respondents think one must believe in God to be moral, and 98% consider religion important in their lives [34].

Human organ trading has become an increasingly complex and controversial issue in the era of globalization. This article aims to explore an in-depth understanding of human organ trading through ethical perspectives and in the context of Indonesia's legal framework. By combining ethical and legal studies, this article summarizes ethical views on human organ trading and analyzes the relevance of Indonesia's legal framework in addressing the challenges of such trading. In the process, it considers the implications of moral and religious values for human organ trading. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the article seeks to compile the contributions of ethics and law in forming a comprehensive view of this complex issue. It is hoped that a deeper understanding of ethical perspectives and legal frameworks will provide richer insights into human organ trading and encourage constructive debate to address the issue.

This article offers a Kantian account of dignity violations in the context of contemporary migration to western states. It considers three major issues: “modern slavery,” statutory detention, and lack of rights to engage in economic activity. While most Kantian accounts emphasize the dignity violations of treating people as “mere means,” we point out that this does not capture the central issue: the “hostile environment” that so many migrants face. The first part of the article briefly sets out a Kantian account of dignity violations. The second part highlights two key differences between modern slavery and its historical forebears. It emphasizes the interpersonal rather than institutional character of modern slavery, and distinguishes trafficking from smuggling. The third part argues that migrants who lack formal rights to remain and work face institutional exclusions that violate human dignity. Policies that aim to discourage and restrict immigration demean people’s status as ends in themselves. Moreover, they do so by actively denying opportunities to act as means for others. As such, the article draws a link between Kant’s well-known cosmopolitan right not to be treated with hostility and his less well-known ethical duty, “to be a useful member of the world.” Dignity can be found in acting as a means for others; hostility and exclusion can violate dignity just as much as instrumentalization.
