No matter how they write it up on the bill, they're selling you part of another human being.
No argument there.

Do you know where you can get a free organ transplant?

Area residents gave more than $204,000 to get Jarrett on the transplant list at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The funds are administered through the Children's Organ Transplant Association. That's wonderful! Thank God for their generosity in buying the organs that the Children's Organ Transplant Association was selling.

Technically speaking the COTA can't sell organs. I don't think the neomort that 'donated' his stomach and intestines got any monetary compensation for the act.

$204,000 is a lot of money for something that is supposedly free. They weren't selling the pleasure of an operation (or series of operations.) Without the so-called free organs, there would be no operation. Just because the price tag isn't directly placed on the organs, doesn't mean it's all free.
The funds are administered through the Children's Organ Transplant Association.
Funds for what? A trip to Disney World? No. Organs. "Free" organs. $204,000 worth of "free" organs.

You can already sell your blood and hair
You can sell use of your uterus, but not your vagina except in selected counties in Nevada. Some things just dont sell. I read a book called "City of Joy" about the sale of skeletons in Calcutta.
I dont think selling bodies is a good idea here.

I see. You're saying that the people who perform the work associated with an organ donation should not get paid. Then it will be "free".

You complain the organ transplant isn't free, so to fix that problem everyone should donate their time and expertise.
To: hedgetrimmer
When did I say anything like that?

I agree. If I want to sell a kidney, why shouldn't I be able to?

The ironic thing is that it's legal for you to sell your kidney when you are alive but not legal to have your kidney sold after you are dead.

Everything is relative in the secular humanist world, isn't it?
To: hedgetrimmer
Yep. A kidney here, a lampshade there. A piece of your liver, or your disabled child's bone marrow. As long as the price is right, some people just avoid working out any possible moral details. Just do it!

Morally, only one of a pair of vital organs or a part of a vital organ may be transplanted. This may be done only as an act of charity after the donor has been fully informed and when the excision of the vital organ or part of the vital organ will not cause death or debilitating mutilation. Only living organs are suitable for transplantation. Vital organs cannot be transplanted from a dead body. Only tissues, such as corneas or heart valves, are suitable for transplantation after the heart has stopped and there is no circulation. The fictitious concoction of "brain death" is a fraudulent subterfuge coined and expended to deprive defenseless persons of their God-given right to life, often for profit. Removal of vital organs after a declaration of "brain death" is precisely what causes the death of the patient whose vital organ or organs are thus excised.
While this doubtless may prolong the life of the person receiving such organs by transplant, the procedure does violate the moral principle that evil may not be done that good might come of it. That is, a good end does not justify an evil means.

Have you ever read the book "Coma", must be 25 to 30 years ago that it came out.
Said this would happen.
