On the educational tip lately.
I was browsing the news today and I came across this interesting article.
To avoid sounding insane, let's lay out the facts in an organized fashion.
There is a huge international black market for organs.
My argument is, why not legalize the buying and selling of organs?
That way, the government can regulate their transfer to ensure safety and we don't have these "greedy brokers" capitalizing on this vital need. Not to mention the deaths of people awaiting kidney transplants from suitable donors. Obviously, due to the economic principles of supply and demand, the amount of money per seller will decrease, but let's face it, anyone willing to give up a kidney for some cash could really use it.
Oh, and please don't give me that "moral issue" bullshit.
I will simply point you here.
In other news, Ms. (Mr?) Hermaphrodite joins Jimmy's gang.
GOONIES !

- There are many, many people willing to give up an organ to make some extra money.
- There is a larger demand for kidneys than there is supply.
