The point is that people would jeopardize their health and future bigtime because they were in need of a cash infusion. This sort of thing is one step further down the road of commercializing every blessed thing on the planet.

Invariably this is, ultimately, a political question, i.e. one of public policy (and so this thread belongs further up). If you simply ruled that people's vital organs belong to the public domain upon death, you'd largely solve the availability problem instantly.

But I'm resisting free organ enterprise, ain't I?:rolleyes:
