Plus I see this as part of a much larger problem, where commerization of the human body becomes the norm. From copywriting DNA to patenting human genes, I find this whole process corrosive, unethical, and immoral.
So you’re saying it is moral to allow patients to die waiting for kidney donors? The reason Iran is the only country in the world where no one waits for kidneys is because donors get compensated. What’s unethical about that?
