Back in 2011, I shared a video making the moral argument that adults should be allowed to buy and sell kidneys.
After all, if one person is made better off by selling a kidney and another person is made better off by buying a kidney, why should the rest of us be allowed to ban that voluntary exchange?
In a new video looking at anti-market bias, Professor Bryan Caplan of George Mason University uses kidney sales as an example of how capitalism yields great results.
So why is it against the law to buy and sell kidneys, particularly when the actual buyers and sellers – by definition – both benefit?
In 2010, I speculated that a knee-jerk fixation on the wrong kind of equality might be part of the answer. The current system, with long waiting lines and thousands of needless deaths, may be bad, but at least rich people suffer just as much as poor people.
…it is perplexing that statists are so viscerally opposed. The only interpretation I can come up with – which I admit is very uncharitable – is that they are willing to let people die because they are myopically fixated on equity. No system is acceptable, in their minds, unless it results in equal death rates by income class and equal kidney donations by income class.
In reality, a free market would benefit both rich and poor. Not only would some poor people get a lot of money by selling their spare kidneys, but poor people on dialysis would be far more likely to get transplants since private charities would be able to raise money to save their lives.
P.S. Professor Caplan is the creator of the “libertarian purity quiz.” I only got 94 out of 160 possible points, which doesn’t sound that impressive, but it was enough to get me classified as “hard core.”
P.P.S. In my posts about unemployment benefits, I’ve argued that there’s a big downside to giving people money on the condition that they don’t have a job. Simply stated, you trap people in unemployment.
And I’ve cited lots of academic evidence to support that hypothesis. And for those who prefer anecdotes, check out this story from Michigan and this example from Ohio.
I’ve even cited left-wing economists who admit that unemployment benefits translate into more joblessness. And this Michael Ramirez cartoon on the issue is both amusing and persuasive.
But one thing I haven’t done is share data from actual people without jobs. So here’s some data from a national scientific poll of unemployed Americans.
…80 percent agree that it “is giving me time to find the right position.” …82 percent of those receiving benefits said if their unemployment compensation were to run out prior to their finding a job, they would “search harder and wider for a job.” …48 percent agree that they “haven’t had to look for work as hard” thanks to unemployment compensation.
Gee, what a shocker. Endless unemployment benefits enable people to be less diligent about finding work. That may not be a big problem if people are out of the labor force for two months. But when politicians keep extending jobless benefits, you create permanent unemployment.
[…] I’ve repeatedly written that people should have the right to sell their organs, I obviously think they should be […]
[…] Returning to the topic of organ sales, there’s also a very persuasive utilitarian case because many lives would be saved. Plasma […]

I’m Mathilda lydia by name. I live in Munich,{Germany} i want to use this medium to alert everyone who want to sell his/her kidney to be very careful because there are scammers everywhere.Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several online kidney hospital clinics. I had almost lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to a very reliable Clinic called Lorena Kidney Clinic where i finally got a secured amount for the selling of my kidney of 500,000.00 Euro under hours without any stress. If you are in need of where to sell your kidney just contact them now via: {lorenakidneyclinic@gmail.com} I‘m using this medium to alert everyone who want to sell his/her kidney because of the hell I passed through in the hands of those fraudulent Hospitals. And I don’t wish even my enemy to pass through such hell that I passed through in the hands of those fraudulent online Hospitals, i will also want you to help me pass this information to others who are also in need and looking for where to sell their kidney for money once you have also receive your payment from Lorena Kidney Clinic, i pray that God should bless them and give them more grace to help us all.

What do you mean? People can freely buy and sell kidneys in America. Lots of people make money off the kidney market: The doctor who performs the transplant normally charges a hefty fee. As does the anesthesiologist. The nurses get something. The hospital gets something. Everybody makes money off of it. Except for the person who donated the kidney, of course. He or she is forbidden by law from making any money off the transaction. But everybody else involved is allowed to make money.
So why is the person who is giving up a part of his own body the only one not allowed to be compensated?
If people could sell their organs, sure, rich people would presumably have more access to organs than poor people. But then, that would free up more of the donated organs for poor people. And of course the people who donated would make money. It would seem like everybody would win. Except for the statists who think that because they would not want to do something, that no one else should be allowed to do it either.
Unemployment benefits make a great case for a prebate built into a new flat tax code, since the amount of the prebate should be deducted from benefits like unemployment and disability.
People would receive the same level of support, but since they would not lose the prebate by working, the dis-incentive not to work would be reduced.
This would make more sense to me if we had a different medical system that wasn’t rewarded with more money after prescribing kidney poisoning drugs. Docs seem to believe there is always a transplant to replace the kidneys they damage. Have you seen how many kidney centers there are now? Free markets should also apply in all medicine. Let people choose. Get rid of the cartels and I would agree about the kidneys.
