But organs are sold after they are harvested. They are sold to hospitals that need them, then again to patients that need them. They can't be sold for profit, but they are still sold.
- nostromo 2y agoYes, everyone gets paid except for the organ donor. It's a bad system. To hold it up as some sort of exemplar isn't smart.
- jampekka 2y agoAre the hospitals allowed to charge for the organs somewhere? In most e.g. European and other public healthcare countries you can't really even buy the operation, let alone the organ. But yes, having private organizations as middlemen is not good. That's why my organs will not be put to use when I die.
