Poor people selling their organs really doesn't qualify as "freedom" except in the most meaningless, pedantic sense.

- chad_oliver 11y agoWhy not? That's a serious question; I'd love to hear your opinion. It seems to me that if they freely consent to sell their kidney, then they'll only do it because it's a better option than not doing it. Sure, in a perfect world everyone would have enough money to survive, and there would be no need for this. But is it really ethical to deny them options?
- GeorgeOrr 11y agoBut you are ok with the "Freedom" to die on needless waiting lists, while willing donors would be available if payment was possible?
