Title: Free Market solution to organ shortages Post by: GideonGono on June 18, 2011, 09:05:40 PM Ever since I found out about the revolutionary potential of bitcoin, I've been ruminating on how the hypothetical AnCapistan will deal with certain issues.
After reading this article about a 17y.o. that sold his kidney to buy an iPad 2 :o - http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/06/02/chinese-student-reportedly-sells-his-kidney-to-buy-an-ipad-2/ -I was thinking that if I needed a transplant I'd rather not get it from a kid who might not know the implications of his decisions. So I was wondering if the market can come up with a more "humane" way of providing organs for those in need. It would be possible for a car/life insurance company to offer reduced premiums in exchange for your organs if you die in a car crash. Depending on the price of organs as dictated by the market, you might not even need to pay car/life insurance anymore. This could be very beneficial to young people as they have relatively higher insurance premiums. What do you think of this idea?

Google 'clemson university bio printer') your organs to spec.

The demand for transplant organs today exceeds the supply. This is the reason that the free market would make transplantations more affordable to the poor. Cause of heavy amount of money the organ are not so much affordable. So free market only can give solution to the shortages.
