Why not? That's a serious question; I'd love to hear your opinion.
It seems to me that if they freely consent to sell their kidney, then they'll only do it because it's a better option than not doing it. Sure, in a perfect world everyone would have enough money to survive, and there would be no need for this. But is it really ethical to deny them options?

Ironic to see a particular kind of freedom we'll likely never see in the US in a country which is less free in so many other ways.
Poor people selling their organs really doesn't qualify as "freedom" except in the most meaningless, pedantic sense.

But you are ok with the "Freedom" to die on needless waiting lists, while willing donors would be available if payment was possible?
