Isn't this an indictment of the profitization of healthcare, rather than an argument for increasing it by paying people to donate organs? Selling organs sounds

Selling organs sounds ghoulish and horrible to most people for a reason. They likely don't realize that's exactly what's happening behind the scenes - if they did, they'd think that was ghoulish and horrible as well.
- sokoloff 2y agoSelling organs for a reasonable markup over direct costs seems perfectly fine to me. Hospitals don’t build and staff themselves any more than grocery stores or utilities do. Organs don’t harvest and fly themselves to the point of need unaided… If people can make a living (pun was accidental) doing this, it’s more likely to exist in a vibrant way when I or someone I love is in need of it.
