Surrogacy is not the same as organ donation.

In a literal sense, surrogacy is "renting" a uterus. You are paid compensation for the inconvenience and risks.

Organ donation is different.

I think the whole payment for organ donation is leading a slippery slope. Why should I take $5,000 for a kidney when I can eBay it for $20,000 to someone who is my exact blood type and Rh factor and has the money to pay extra for immediate purchase?

Black market organs would be much more common, because now instead of being illegal, cheap, and unhealthy, it's no longer illegal.
