(I'm not judging or trying to persuade, but wish to increase understanding between people with very different viewpoints.)

I think I do understand why the other people in this thread wrote what they did. It's true their worldview is probably extremely different from mine. I find the extreme wealth inequality we witness to be a great tragedy. That people are destroying their minds and bodies to be given the privilege to exist on this planet, while people lucky enough to be rich can simply order 99% of other humans around, and convince them that it's a good thing. That it's fair they're giving away their health, their sexuality, their blood or all of their time, as they are getting paid money in exchange. Something that to them is only achievable by hard work and extreme sacrifice, and in small quantities, while the same amount represents a minuscule value to the person on the other side of the deal. Adding to that legally selling your organs, is inconceivable to me. What's next, selling babies for adoption? I'm sorry if this seems poorly thought out and weakly formed argument, but I don't even know how to begin expressing my opinion on this matter. I can't see how I can be convinced this is all OK and something to be intensified.
