Impingement on quality of life by the seller of an organ can be, and is translated to a value statement.
How much is a Jew's life worth vs a Christian's life vs a Muslim's life? Or would it make you squeamish to try and adjudicate that? Or are some things not worth putting a price on because of principles, because breaking those principles would have worse second and third order effects?
- grp000 8y agoWell, the market as an aggregate dictates that. It's entirely reasonable to assume that from market to market, buyers have different value assessments for people of different religions, and place different values on each. On a personal level, I would pass judgment by objective quality of organ, but that's beside the point. The idea of employment already places value statements on people and mainstream moral perceptions mark discrete points that shift from moral to immoral, when in fact its all on a continuous scale and the point at which it shifts is arbitrary.
