One right kidney, lightly used.
On today's show we talked to Julio Elias, economics professor at the University of Buffalo, who makes an economist's argument in favor of paying people for kidney donations. That discussion sprung from an article about the same debate in the medical community.
Elias says that letting people buy and sell kidneys would solve the critical shortage of organ donors. Opponents say the practice is considered repugnant and would be riddled with abuse.
So what do you think? Money for kidneys—yea or nay?
