Question
Should the sale of human organs be legalised
Position‹2 of 2

No, the sale of human organs should not be legalized

This position holds that the sale of human organs should remain prohibited. Opponents argue that only the poor would sell, that poverty makes such consent coercive rather than free, and that a market would treat human bodies as commodities.
