126: Sell Your Kidney!
Organ Trade, Sally Satel, National Kidney Foundation
Author Sally Satel's book "When Altruism Isn't Enough" is used to discuss the legalization of a market for kidney donations. The National Kidney Foundation is criticized for opposing financial incentives for donors, which the hosts attribute to the influence of the lucrative dialysis industry. Additional reports mention a German company, Tutogen, involved in the secretive global trade of body parts extracted from corpses.
