You know, I should have known that would be your reason. It fits nicely with your other views.
I think I also know the answer to my immediate question but let me ask it anyway: Should the government prescribe the price(s) that people can charge for their organs or should we allow a market to develop that will dictate the cost?
And, if you believe that the market should dictate (which is likely), should we allow people to to sell organs that will cause their death (i.e. heart)? Should we decide that people have a privacy right to sell their organs even if it causes their death?
