> Do you think parents should be allowed to sell both kidneys in exchange for, say, fully-funded college tuition for their kids? Ideally no more than one parent, presuming a two parent household, but yes, I'm morally okay with that. The loss of a parent is sad. It will have an emotional impact. I think that the impact, coupled to the education the parent is seeking will probably cause the child to appreciate and succeed even more. Knowing that dad died to procure the college education will probably cause the child to work harder in HS and college. The parents have agency. They can look at a situation to see if they can get an outcome they appreciate. > Do you think the mentally ill should be able to sell both their kidneys? Why or why not? No, but merely on the arbitrary like that I think agency matters. Agency underlying all things is a premise. I just state it as a fact. If that fact is wrong, all conclusions from it are at risk. I accept that philosophically. I also posit that mental illness precludes agency.
