Let People Sell Their Kidneys. It Will Save Lives (nytimes.com)
1 point by Paul-Craft on April 5, 2024 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment


My kid had kidney failure and had to have a transplant, so I'm not just opining.

I think we should let people sell kidneys under the same conditions as we, say, legalize prostitution. Which is, when we have a guaranteed minimum income.

I really don't want to live in a world where the poor have to be the organ banks for the rich--just to survive. If we guaranteed that everybody could have a decent life WITHOUT having to sell their organs, we could experiment with all kinds of things, including an organ market.
