54 sats \ 6 replies \ @optimism 29 May \ on: Should You Be Allowed To Sell a Kidney? AskSN culture HealthAndFitness econ

Voted "nope" because a kidney means it includes me knocking you out, butchering you up and selling yours. Also, am more a proponent of 3D-printing the spares.

means it includes me knocking you out, butchering you up and selling yours.

Doesn’t that already happen?

I think it’s not even possible yet!

Sure but you asked a "should", not an "is"

I think it’s not even possible yet!

It's under development.

I don’t get it. What’s the difference?

"should" means do you think this is desirable
"is" (or "can" or "could") means do you think it (potentially) happens regardless of being desirable

I personally don't think that second hand body parts is something that is desirable if we can develop the means to produce artificial replacements.

even we develop artificial replacements, people should be able to sell their organs

one reason I am not an organ donor is that donors or their estate should be compensated

Oh, just because I don't think it's desirable, doesn't mean it should be forbidden. Better to just make it obsolete.
