>this is a transfer of longevity from poor people to rich people. Wealthy people can in any case already often buy kidneys and other organs if they desperately need them, and if they're famous, or influential politicians, they might even get a jump ahead for donor kidneys. At least with a legal market, buying a desperately needed organ wouldn't require that you be someone with special connections and all kinds of unique advantages. You'd just need the damn money. The hatred towards what should be an obvious market of voluntary exchange in which people trade something so obviously theirs and personal to others who need it for obvious reasons is absurd and irrational. The current system is disastrous and in need of aperture for experimentation. Clamping down on this because of bullshit dogmatism is disgusting. Lives are literally at stake.
