"Why legislate to add one more way for people to ruin their own lives while placing further strain on the obligations of the public?"
Actually, we would only have to remove the legislation that currently prevents people from selling their own organs.
And you're assuming that this is a way for people to ruin their own lives. I already ruin my life everyday by wasting it slowly working for the man. Liquor and porn are the only good things in my life. Why do you think they are inappropriate purposes for which I may exercise my freedom? Please, inform me as to what noble purpose should I dedicate my life toward. But in the meantime, why do you want to deny me these simple pleasures? I'm not asking you to support my desires or to participate in them. What possible effect does my organ selling have on your life?
Also, you assume that everyone who chooses to sell his/her organs would immediately turn around and buy booze. I admit that would be my first inclination, but somewhere there must be someone who needs the extra cash to pay for education, housing, medical care of a parent, etc. Why deny them the ability to buy those things just because it fits your paternalistic desire to deny me porn?
And obligations of the public? I'm not asking for a handout or anything from the public. I just want the right to engage in private business. Go ahead, cut me out of the national trust, it hasn't done a whole lot of good for me so far.
