should selling kidneys or other organs for profit be allowed or banned and why?

Allowed, my organs, I should be able to sell them if I want.

You REALLY should stop doing that. Try providing insightful content and motivation to further a discussion, instead of your one-line threads.

But i thought it made sense to ask questions rather then go off on some rant.

I agree. Sperm and plasma can already be sold. I say that people should be allowed to auction off their organs, as it can benefit both parties, thought donating them is, of course, more noble. For example, do you think we'd have quite the kidney shortage we have if healthy, double-kidneyed people with little money could sell one of their kidneys for 5 or even 6 figures?

As an aside, this is one of the areas where I think something should be legal, though I think it's a bad idea. I think it's unwise to sell a kidney, but I see no logical reason to ban it without dipping into the nanny-state trough.

As another aside, I find it strange that any pregnant woman can, at any time, no matter her age and without the consent of the father or her own parents, if a minor, have a baby surgically removed and killed for her own personal convenience, but it's considered some great moral crime to allow somebody to sell a kidney, something that is undeniably part of one's own body.

I think it should be legal to sell other peoples organs. :dev:

I made this thread, because in the phillipines (cant spell), they are selling kidneys through a loophole on the blackmarket, but rather the close the loophole.

They want to make it legal to see kidneys

I say, its your body, you can sell whatever you want.

Touch my Wurlitzer and you're a dead man ! :laugh2:

[glockmail]

Why would you not allow people to sell their organs? Wouldn't it make more organs available?

[Gaffer]

China is killing people and selling their organs. Seems its quite a lucrative business there. Of course coming from china who knows what the parts are infected with.

[glockmail]

That problem would be easy enough to solve with regulation. The donor has to certify the donation, and doctors lose their license for installing uncertified parts.
