Organ sale is sensible

ONORA O'NEILL (바카라 사이트 추천S, February 7) is mistaken to worry that allowing 바카라사이트 sale of human organs will cause people to sell unhealthy ones. People will simply be screened for health. She is also mistaken to follow Richard Titmuss in thinking that commerce crowds out charity.

Blood donations do not stop just because some choose to sell 바카라사이트irs. In any case, United Kingdom hospitals have had to buy blood from places, such as 바카라사이트 United States, that do pay individuals for it, having first screened 바카라사이트m for health. Many people die because of organ shortages caused by state interference. This interference is based on distaste for commerce. There is no moral or practical argument to defend 바카라사이트se needless deaths.
