Organ trade: should it be allowed? I think so.
Of course, I'm not saying that we should allow illegal trade like what has happened recently( workers going for medical checkups got their kidneys stolen), however what I'm saying is that people should have the choice whether they want to sell their kidneys or not. If a doctor guarantees that the donor will be fine and if the donor is willing, why not? The money coming from the trade may improve the donor's life, thus I feel we should allow organ trade. After all, what's the point of having two healthy kidneys when you are going to die of starvation anyway? Wouldn't it be better to have one kidney, be healthy and then be able to survive? Thus, I think governments should rethink and maybe allow a restricted and highly monitored organ trade.

good observations, Xavier! But do you think we still have our own form of lottery in today's society?
