- maxerickson 10y agoThat's what they are proposing. They want to limit the prices paid for organs to avoid people feeling squeamish. Case A: Organs can be sold for $10,000 only. Lots of people do it. Case B: Organs can be sold for whatever. Lots of people do it for more than $10,000. I find Case B far less exploitative.
- tomjen3 10y agoSo you would rather limit the oppertunities of the poor, rather than allowing them to make a choice about their own bodies that you personally disagree with?
- woofyman 10y agoYes...it's exploitation. Should people be allowed to sell their heart or their eyes?
- tomjen3 10y agoHave you thought it through? People will sell organs if they think that is the best possible opportunity for them. You want to come in and deny them that resource, which means you want to force poor people to make a choice that they believe is worse of. Either you hate the poor and want them to be worse of (I don't believe this) or you think you know that persons situation better than they do. We tried a system of tell people what to buy and sell and what to make. It was called the Soviet Union and it was demonstrately worse.
