In the west people die everyday while waiting for organs or bone marrow while in Iran there is no shortage of donors. The difference? In Iran it is legal to pay the donors. WHY? Why is it illegal to save a life? You might say “I dont need to be paid to save a life” great! Go here and get informed and get registered. theres a 1/200 chance that you could save a life.

No, it is in no way shape or form a moral thing to do. Wherever there is some form of economic trade, or a business, anyplace that money passes hands, there will be a black market. In places where selling organs is legal, a lonely person wandering down the street isn’t likely to just be held up, they’re likely to be beaten unconscious, dragged into a van or a warehouse, and cut open and their organs taken out. While they’re still alive. This stuff happens much more frequently than it should.

Heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, all of these sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Wherever money goes, so will those who worship it.

I’ll say it again, NO, it is not moral, because people’s natural tendency to sin will lead to corruption and greed. People are killed for their wallets, they’re killed in bank heists. Why should this be any different to them? The only difference is, now the person’s innards are the target, and their worth much, much more than their wallets.

Now if someone wants to sign up to donate their organs (before they die), then yes, that’s fine, but even in that case, they still need to be watched like a hawk. Even today, in the U.S., doctors will steal organs for rich patients who need the transplant, and are willing to go behind the law.

Marketing human organs is immoral, because it evil into the very sanctity of human life. It is no different from stem cell research, when they used aborted children for their studies, besides the fact that the law hasn’t made it legal yet.

how is there more opportunity for corruption, the desire or demand is already there, people are desperate to receive organs. I dont suggest making it legal for any shmoe to walk in of the street with a box of still warm organs. whoever controls the tissue matching could control the trade keeping it safe and fair for both parties. another point on corruption, people are traveling to India and China where impoverished people are getting ripped of for their organs. Right now for example Im registered to be a bone marrow donor, I had to consider whether I could afford to miss work for the procedure… I determined that I would take the cost out of my tythe because we have a fairly tight budget. Our system doesn’t even allow the payment for time missed off work!
