How do you feel about "Organ Trading"?

I realise that this is an Australian article, but take a read, it could apply elsewhere.

A couple of pivotal quotes:

“At first glance, compensation for donors might appear repugnant,” wrote Matas. “Yet to me, what is truly repugnant is the sad reality of patients dying and suffering while waiting for a kidney.”

and

“The last vestige of human altruism is at stake,” Chapman wrote. “Which family member will donate if the government will pay someone else $US100,000 to provide a kidney?”.

So what do you think? Do you believe people should be able to sell their organs to people on the waiting list? Do you think it would be a good thing, say if you really needed the money and had a perfectly healthy kidney you could do without? What about those poor people who have been waiting for years who would be willing to pay?

Is it really that unethical? If we don’t make it legal will it become like abortion, as in people will do it under the radar, but dangerously?

Or are you completely against it? Is it totally unethical?

What would be the economic effects? The social effects? Cultural? Political? What would this mean for us?

Are you somewhere in between? Undecided? Somewhere else entirely?

Please share you thoughts and opinions :)
