This is a bit of tabloid rubbish. The price of a cornea donation is blindness in that eye. Stupid is as stupid does. On the other hand I agree with Crim’s freewheeling libertarianism.

And why should adults not be allowed to make the volitional decision to sell their own organs? Another misguided “social justice” bit of nonsense. God forbid that the person to whom the organs belong to actually make some money from it (besides the hospitals and transplant teams). I am sure that the “it’s my body and I will do what I want with it” (which by the way I agree with) crowd will have some reason for supporting this nonsensical statist intervention.

He must be kidding! It’s not so easy to remove a section of the liver…

£ 100.000 for a kidney, a quarter of a liver and one cornea? Expensive organs indeed, but that’s the free market for you – what is rare claims the higher price. Assholes, on the other hand, are much cheaper as the world’s supply of them seems infinite.
