What? Organs for sale is ethically untenable and morally repugnant? Don't be so hippocratical. Doctors already do organ transplants for cold hard cash. They capture the value of the organs in their billing procedures. They have no qualms at all about selling the organs to the people receiving them. Of course the doctors don't quite put it like that. They say "Free with each surgical procedure, one free heart! Get yours here!! Don't delay. Make a booking today." When the account is paid, it doesn't make any difference to the doctor or the recipient which thing is paid for and which isn't because when things are bundled together and billed in one lump, it's the package which is bought and paid for. The supply is so limited that doctors able to supply the "free" body parts are able to bill a LOT more than those doctors who are unable to acquire the requisite parts. My point is that by paying the parts sellers, the supply would be dramatically increased. A far greater proportion, if not everyone, could have the parts they need. The repugnant and unethical situation is donors being not allowed to sell their own property, but doctors are allowed to capture the value of any parts which are donated. More repugnant and unethical is that swarms of people are dying because doctors and politicians refuse to let people be alive by making it illegal for them to pay the going rate for the essential parts. People like you have blood on your hands. If there were huge numbers of donors, dodgy donors could be ignored so that the chances of getting a healthy body part would go way up. The horrible choice of dying from a diseased body part or dying from the original problem would be greatly reduced. You can't see it, but yours is the morally hideous, greedy, unethical and murderous ideology with dead people around the world as evidence of it. Mqurice
