Free Market Organs

It's against the law to sell organs or donate a spare kidney to a rich person because it's "unfair" and organs are to be given out based on a list and the health of the recipient and all that. Nothing everyone doesn't know. And we want to protect people from themselves who might give up that kidney for 50 large they could use.
The baby organ market got me thinking. What would a parent pay for a heart for their baby? A whole fucking lot. But how many babies die in car crashes? Not fucking many. So a need is there and free enterprise steps in.
Once the baby/fetus/nonviable tissue mass is aborted it is gone. Like it or hate it that's the law and those babies will be aborted. Why not save other lives? Do it above board and legal and either let the market set the price or make like adult organ donation.
The fear is that babies would be raised for harvest. Maybe raised to adult hood to harvest. Real Nazi Germany shit. Matrix farms of organ crops.
Just because this O'Keefe dude keep catching folks on candid camera doesn't make it false. Why not open up debate on whether we should look into saving lives out of death?

Oh god you can't even get these people to sign off on stem cell research.
You'd think it would be better to do something good with an abortion but not with these Neanderthals stomping their feet and crying murder around. -
A friend of mine just had a kid, and they donated the chord blood from the placenta (stem cells) to research. I guess that's a thing now.allpurpleallgold said:Oh god you can't even get these people to sign off on stem cell research.

I mentioned how cool I thought that was at a family reunion just to see the buttholes tighten on the Evangelicals at the table. My aunt almost started crying, and my uncle asked to be excused.
Priceless. -
That placenta has a soul.
