It’s illegal to pay people for organs, but some advocates want a $50,000 tax credit for kidneys

The idea is horrific, immoral, and most of all dangerous. You don’t want to give anyone a reason to lie about their own health to sell a kidney.

I’m no doctor but I believe testing could verify/falsify health claims. No need to just take people’s word for it.

I kind of agree. The spirit of this idea is one thing, the reality of it another.

Maybe more context is needed though. It seems they just want to incentivize people towards being identified as possible donors where very specific generic matches are necessary. So basically just giving a credit to get in the donor database.

That’s not what this article reads like though.

That seems cheap.

Extremely, yes.
