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 don’t understand your logic here. No one is saying we outlaw the charitable donations of kidneys. All I am saying that people should be free to sell their kidney’s for profit. Under such a system those who wish to donate their kidney's for altruistic reasons will give it to these who have the least amount of money, and those with the most money can purchase them. So it is win-win for rich and poor alike.

Isn’t it more wrong do allow thousands of people to die every year from a man-made kidney shortage?
