<Kidney Shortage Inspires A Radical Idea: Organ Sales As Waiting List Grows, Some Seek to Lift Ban; Exploiting the Poor? > There is a new-fangled and "radical" pricing idea which was developed in the early 21st century called supply and demand. If there is a shortage of something, the price goes up because people bid it up. When people see all the money to be made by supplying that thing, they increase the supply of it. It's a complex concept which only we intellectuals could understand when it was first promulgated [being akin to Einstein's Theory of Relativity]. But increasingly, even "normal" humans are getting to grips with the idea. Envious socialists prefer to see people die than buy. Hopefully they are the people suffering [probably they are a majority of them judging by election results, which is karma]. Meanwhile, I note that the medical guild does NOT donate their services for no charge in kidney transplants. Somehow, their ethics enable to them to collect ALL the money available in the transactions and the kidney donor gets nothing. That seems a very unethical idea of ethics to me, but I guess the doctors are comfortable with getting all the loot. Talk about a Hippocritical Oath! Mqurice
