Sure. Most Americans—including a commanding majority of medical experts—wouldn’t.

You’ve also shifted the goalposts. We weren’t discussing the “problem of there not being enough organs,” but that of whether such a market could be an effective anti-poverty tool.

That’s… fine? I don’t mind most Americans disagreeing with me, that doesn’t offend me at all :)

I’m okay conceding this point. I don’t care whether it relieves poverty or not. That’s not the goal here
