So you saying "The abortion industry is a BILLION DOLLAR per year business" is about as effective an argument as saying "The funeral industry is a BILLION DOLLAR per year business".

It costs money to do anything and people make money when they supply goods and services. That's the way the world works whether you are talking about healthcare, abortions, funerals, garbage hauling or an ice cream stand.
You can't compare the funeral industry with a killing industry except that funerals are paid for by the family of deceased, so if you want to kill your baby, pay for it yourself, or open a savings account for insurance. The gov't is not your private sugardaddy.

If that's legal, how can you argue against anyone else selling their organs?

She didn't sell her womb....she rented it out.

I guess if I was of the pro-life/anti-choice persuasion, I would be vehemently lobbying for MANDATORY organ donation upon your death. Why should you have a choice when lives could be saved and you're dead anyway?

Regarding the OP: as other posters have eluded, the problem with creating this type of market is not you selling your body, but the financial incentive for someone else to sell your body before you're done with it. I'm all for discussing though. Maybe those fears unwarranted.
