It’s a scandal that so many people are stuck on dialysis and die when we each have one more kidney than necessary. It makes no sense to ban someone from “selling” a kidney, as long as the seller is knows what the risks are.
As a post above says, buying a kidney abroad *shortens* the line for everyone else waiting. Ideally, it should be regulated to ensure that donors give informed consent.
