Die Realität des Organhandels

von: steffenh   Kategorie: Gesundheitspolitik

Organhandel? Die kalte Fratze des Marktes? Ganz im Gegenteil, schreibt der Economist:

That's what Iran has done. An officially approved patients' organisation oversees the transactions. Donors get $2,000-4,000. The waiting list has been eliminated.

...

What's more, having a kidney removed is as safe as common elective surgeries and even beauty treatments (it is no more dangerous than liposuction, for example), which sets it apart from other types of living-organ donation. America already lets people buy babies from surrogate mothers, and the risk of dying from renting out your womb is six times higher than from selling your kidney.
