Marketing Human Organs

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the economic benefits of a policy for the marketing of human organs. The paper presents an analysis of current public policy of non-market organs and then takes a look at the advantages and disadvantages of a regulated market for human organs. The paper points out that current policy is not meeting the need for human organs and concludes that a well-regulated market would be a win-win situation for all involved.

From the Paper:

"There are many topics concerning public policy that are relevant to microeconomics, however, few that are as morally controversial as the marketing of human organs. By looking at the economic benefits of such a policy, one can better remove oneself emotionally from the topic, and perhaps see the benefit of something that at first appears to be morally repugnant, such as a live donor kidney transplant market. One must fully understand the current state of the situation as well as the alternatives advantages and disadvantages before making an informed decision. One thing is certain, as medical science continues to advance and organ transplants become more and more commonplace around the globe, this topic is certain to continue to be at the forefront of discussion."
