Why are you trying to keep the price from falling and thereby really helping the poor?

how are they going to afford these organs?
some can't afford to pay hardly anything and pray for free clinics and the like to assit them. right now the organs are free, its the hospitals and surgery that cost money. how is adding a new charge going to help?

I shouldn’t poor person be compensated for his kidney? It seems to me the poor would greatly benefit under this arrangement.

it could be used a form of coersion. many poor people are faced with having to put their health at risk to make money. and thats wrong.
