Should the sale of human organs be legalised
Position1 of 2›

Yes, the sale of human organs should be legalized

This position holds that paying for human organs should be lawful. Proponents argue that the shortage of donated organs costs lives on waiting lists, that payment would expand supply, and that adults should be able to decide what happens to their own bodies.
