I also see people become more and more critically ill from renal failure and dialysis. The poor a growing class in America thanks to years of government miss-management, and now the financial crisis have the right to extract themselves from poverty by means other than crime, which is often the only means that they can see to get out of a often untenable situation. Is it better to sell drugs or prostitute your self rather than sell a kidney, if that sale will enable you to extract yourself from the grinding poverty your in. Say it will pay for an education that will enable one to get a good job, live in a better neighborhood, give your children a better life, and their is an individual willing and capable of providing that compensation, is it still more wrong than poisoning other peoples kids by illegal drug sales? Think about it. I guess those of you that object to organ sales by the poor don't object to pushers selling drugs or prostitutes with HIV or hepatitis C among our young.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230162007222918868.post-28234031027247486602010-03-28T23:12:25.566-04:002010-03-28T23:12:25.566-04:00can you enlighten on Iranian experience?it might h...can you enlighten on Iranian experience?it might have lessons for us hereAVZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300046752859107972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230162007222918868.post-43485596083081997722010-03-23T12:05:59.048-04:002010-03-23T12:05:59.048-04:00I should have posted my reply earlier but I was wa...I should have posted my reply earlier but I was waiting for more comments.<br />I believe that USA is a leader for the world but also for humanity and doctors who graduate from state of the art institution in those democratic and rich societies have the responsibility to improve practice for humans everywhere including the nondemocratic poor societies.<br />I agree that it will be shame on us if we get involved in organ trafick but I also feel ashamed every time I see a 20 yo kid on dialysis.<br />The indirect compensation is to alleviate some concerns for people who are willing to donate but anxious about loosing work and insurance but not enough for poor people to go and sell their organs.<br />If this government centralized.
