I was thinking about this.
I find it disturbing that you can donate your organs. But you or your family can't sell your organs.
Everybody else, the doctors, insurance companies, the hospital, all get to make money off of your organs except for YOU.
I believe we are the owners of our own body and making it illegal to sell your organs is against liberty.
Thoughts?

I don't see anything wrong with it. For one thing, a whole lot more people would sign up to be an organ donor to help their families. And for those who hadn't signed up, when doctors approached them (as they often do), it would, well, sweeten the pot.
Good point. In that case restrict sale to U.S. citizens only.
What happens in another countries borders in not our concern. If that's the route they go than so be it.
My point here is giving people tge chance to make money off their organs.
:shock: I will ignore the clear contrast in morality I have with your first statement and keep on practical issues with your idea.
Even if you restrict it to one country, there are very well long term health concerns with donating an organ. I suspect that health care costs are going to continue rising and we are not going to get rid of medicare. Do you really think it would be a good idea to health care more expensive?
If I had it my way, healthcare would be affordable because the market would adjust.
As far as my first comment, I know I sound like an asshole but I don't believe in policing the world. While it's sad and wrong I believe that would be an issue that country needs to deal with themselves.
I agree with your point as well as you have the moral ground.
What about someone who's an organ donor when they die? They put it in their will that the family has authority to sell their body? As opposed to donating for free?

Now there's an ethical dilemma for ya'. With UHC, of course, you're right. Our first illustration of rationing care. O!M!G!
Care will always be rationed. Even with a free market, its rationed by price.
i tried to sell a hammond organ once, but no-one would buy it, so i had to glue it back on this guy

I doubt it. Probably what would happen is that the majority of organs would come from third world countries where people would sell them for food, only to have their long term health diminished for a short term gain or organs would be harvested for them by gangs.
Dude that already happens.
I watched a whole documentary on it about black market organ sales in the Philippines.
It helped a lot of people, both the seller and the buyer.
Yeah, I saw one too, but it was East Indians selling kidneys to Europeans.
That would be true of anything, wouldn't it, Mega? Remember the Death Panel concerns? That's more what I'm talking about here.
