As for your argument. It is pathetic. Encouraging trading 5K or 10K now for something that could cause grave health risks years down the road is inhumane.

Its their choice to take the risk. People take risk every day, race car drivers, drug users, people coming into contact with neo nazis on forums (raises ones blood pressure). What is the philosophical difference selling blood or selling kidneys? I know there is a higher risk involved but its still selling body parts.

Besides, I wonder if there would be a huge increase in people selling viable organs.
