Joe, sorry, but buying and selling body parts creeps me out. Yes, my reaction is emotional, but it is reasoned as well. A sign of an advanced, compassionate society is that it respects human life. We should support policies that appeal to our better instincts. Brokering in body parts represents the opposite mindset.
Should the proposal discussed in your blog be adopted, I can just see the clever?headline in newspapers around Australia:
If You’ve Got a Kidney For Us, We’ve Got a House For You.
No thanks. I continue to believe we should look seriously at the doctrine of presumed consent.
