Why aren’t there enough organs for transplantation? Because of sentiments such as this:
“It is inappropriate for the Australian medical system to consider, and is counter to the Australian culture which promises an equitable approach in all things,” KHA medical director Tim Mathew told The Associated Press. “The commercial trade in organs is not something we can support.”
Better just to let people die, evidently.

Only fair if the rich pay for the organs. The middle class must pay 50% as long as the transplant is done by the second Tuesday of the 4th month of the year. The poor underprivileged, less sophisticated citizens pay zero--plus get a tax-free coupon to use for buying a new HDTV to watch while recovering.
I am reminded of Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life”:
“May we have your liver?”
“Uh - I’m still using it!”
I am sure there is some sort of libertarian free market message in here somewhere
You would prefer an organ auction?
