I have known several families who have done kidney donation within their family. Being a match and keeping their loved one off the list for donation.
Which got me thinking, should we be able to sell a kidney?
The average wait time for a kidney can be 3-5 years.
i think the current gray area is good enough. i mean if you have money to blow, you can put up a billboard asking for a kidney and give a 'gift' to your lifesaver. if you put an official price on it, i expect it would price more people out of it even if the price was modest and the more i'm going down the rabbit hole of the economics of pricing organs the more sure i am that that's not a path i'd like to go down. let's keep those dead drunk drivers' organs free tyvm.
