Organ Donations

Yeah, let's kill people to make a silly point. Every single person involved in the process makes money for doing a service. Transporting and operating take time, effort, and money. Donating the organs you're no longer using doesn't really cost you anything.

The people doing the transporting and harvesting represent themselves as charitable institutions to increase donorship.

You want to clear the national waiting list of need? Allow families to receive compensation for organs. Almost every family, except those with religious objections and the already well-off, would donate organs of a deceased loved ones if they could get $3,000 per kidney, $7,500 for a liver, $15,000 for a heart, and smaller amounts for other organs and tissue.

There are many families that could completely change their lives for $40,000. Instead, we have the complete and total mess that we muddle through now with a low donor percentage and people dying on the waiting list.
