Biological Colonialism: Time to Get Judgmental About Organ Buyers

Biological Colonialism: Time to Get Judgmental About Organ Buyers » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog: "People who buy organs from the desperate poor think their lives are more important than the health and lives of their sellers. Too often, families often agree. Too often, friends smile benignly and congratulate the recipient for their good fortune. But if we let people know that we would break friendships if someone buys an organ, if family members promise to support and love in illness, but to shun in exploitation, perhaps we could blunt the growth we are seeing in human organ futures. . . . [W]e need to use the power of peer pressure to promote character, even in times of direst crisis."
