How To Encourage Organ Donation

[Guest guest]

Libertarian

theory lauds the mutual gains from trade generated by voluntary exchanges

between persons of ordinary competence. This one good

idea can be applied countless times, with the happy side effect of creating

more opportunities for everyone else. Everyone

benefits from strong contract law that facilitates the exchange goods and

services over time.

Unfortunately,

this rosy account of trade has its dark side. While

many economists praise trade, too many bioethicists

warn us of the risks of " trafficking " in organs, and its evil twin

" commercialism. " So the stage is set for two

related questions: How do we tell the difference between trafficking and trade? And what does it have to do with organ transplantation?
