which shyster doctor are you talking about?

The doctors who harvest, and who reimplant the organs are compensated for the procedure, just like they would be compensated for performing other types of surgery.

They are not being compensated for the organ.

How are you and your family going to manage to find a suitable match for the organ before it degrades to the point of being useless?
are you going to make your decision based on need? Or are you going to auction off to the highest bidder?

eBay auction sounds good. With a Buy-It-Now clause, and prepaid surgery fees included for the extracting physician.

Of course, you'd need a photo gallery of hi-res photos of the organs for buyers to inspect for diseased appearance, irregularities, etc. Probably need some kind of organ grading procedure to determine the overall health, age of organ, etc.

Nonsense. There are a very few who have a MONOPOLY on these procedures. They get WAY RICH off this. Their income DWARFS the average MD's.

The organs are property, they ought to be owned by the estate and ANY profits ought to go to the estate. The current system is corrupt and evil.

There are too many on this thread who are wearing tin foil hats who know nothing about this topic. They watch science fiction movies and think they are documentaries. I am sure they think Dr. Frankenstein was a transplant surgeon.

I thought I was pretty clear, any liberal that wants part of me is going to die waiting.
