If our bodies are our property, why can't we sell our organs at death to the highest bidder?

YES, but your body doesn't grow a new kidney if you sell it.

So basically nothing would change, except for the families that benefited from the sale of the organs.

Pursuant to self-ownership, you have a right to an abortion and a right to sell your organs, or anything else you wish to do. Whether it's a good idea for you to do it or not is another matter; the important thing is that it's your decision, not someone else's.

See how that works?

It all evens out.

Rich people get ice in the summer and poor people get theirs in the winter.

Are you an organ donor? I'll bet not.

Most people aren't. For some reason, most people would rather that their organs rot in the ground than be given to sick people TO SAVE LIVES.

You'd think that most prolifers would be willing to donate their organs after their death. They don't need their organs anymore at that point, so why not give them up?

I am a registered organ donor and the rest of my body can go to a university for medical research. I don't care what happens to my meat sack after the lights have switched off.

Get rid of the donor waiting list....give people the option to donate or sell.

I agree.

[but since so many are willing to donate you probably will not have many buyers]
