I tend to assume the state is right until I form an opinion otherwise. Which means that up until now, I'd always figured that making it illegal to sell organs was the right call. Fair's fair, right?
Maybe. But let's be utilitarians. Rich people buying their way off the waiting list isn't fair, but it shortens the list. Plenty of people who aren't willing to donate kidneys (or chunks of liver) for free would do it for the right price. I know i would. So yes, people with money have an advantage, but it does help everyone else on the list. Isn't that capitalism at its best?
