OpEdNews - Article: Pricing Human Organs

OpEdNews - Article: Pricing Human Organs: "Iran, as you may know, has the dubious distinction of being the only country on earth that allows the selling of human organs by live donors, something that is outright illegal here in the U.S. Some economists have warned us about the persistent shortage of organs because of our system of free organ donation that results in the needless deaths of thousands of people, 6,500 per year according to some estimates. Patients on waiting lists are unable to find a matching donor and are faced with imminent death. Many more may die because they are not even placed on waiting lists to begin with because their doctors think the probability of finding a suitable donor is nil."
