I'm not sure this article is meant to be taken seriously! The focus on kidney organ translplants as a solution to the growing queue of people in need seems absurd. People with kidney failure will possibly have multiple health problems. Who will live? and for how long and how well? Who will pay? Surely the protection of health is a more important issue. Find out why there is a rise in need for transplants.

It's your body and nobody has the right to dictate how you use it or for how much you sell it. Whether that is for sex or some fast organ trading. Hearts, kidneys, livers, dried human penis for that extra boost in your caboose, aborted fetuses, sell them on the market for the best price offered.
Let the market dictate human value. It's time we quit playing at morality whenever it's convenient and get down to brass tacks. "What's it worth to you and don't waste my time. I've got a lot of irons in the fire. 3 hearts on ice in Bolivia and two 9 year old Chechnya girls looking for a nice home in trade for sex. No abuse please. A fellow in Sydney looking for that special someone to spank, and a fresh liver in Beijing. Though that could be duck liver pate. I really couldn't make the fellow out. Either way It'll all be sold by the-end-of-closing. And no more fetuses please. The bloody shop is chocked with the damn things."

What a superb look at one of the purple elephants in our living room.

I've left my body to the Anatomy Department at the University because I find the funeral industry despicable: such an expensive waste to dispose of a piece of luggage no longer wanted on voyage. I'd have liked to donate any usable bits but that still leaves the problem of the leftovers and there's no discount on an incomplete package, I've checked.

I'd like to leave a note on the desirable organs saying: "Anyone can have them who will wrap up the rest and dispose of properly in a parkland to nourish a tree or two." However that's considered to be selling them and is not permitted.

If we're opening the market for live transplants, why not make the whole thing commercial and include organs as part of an estate? If they're used then they should be paid for. I can see a whole new industry on the horizon; I'm surprised the Americans haven't already thought of it.
