I see what you are saying here. I guess with my first question I was expecting you to say that it boils down to cultural differences and a "sanctity of life" in the first world. Instead, I interpretted your answer as saying basically we are complicit already and it comes down to "outsourcing" for value. It's all very disturbing. I do want to go on the record as saying I think they should be commodities either. Either way you've done a lot of interesting work. I'll keep an eye out for future stuff you publish!

Thanks for the response. It sounds like the only difference is the first worlders would price their organs at too far above the going rate to make it worth selling, then? So well likely see selling organs here ( as well as buying ) if the costs of travel dramatically increase or if people get desperate enough? Interesting.

I was wondering: what is the core difference you see between what causes these markets to spring up in less developed countries vs. in the west / more developed countries? What changes could be made to stop it in these LDC's? What changes would cause this stuff to happen in the MDC's?
