I wasn't asking whether you would donate a kidney for some undisclosed price. I was asking whether you think requiring a donation at market-price is an acceptable solution to poverty.

*edited for clarity

I think organs represent a moral hazard but I don't know that I'd rule kidneys out. A lot of people die waiting for them and a lot of people in great health have spares. It's a tricky one. Both parties benefit greatly from the transaction.

Oddly enough kidney donors have better long term health outcomes than the general population (selection bias). I looked into it quite a lot a while back, I was considering non directed kidney donation (you donate it to whoever needs it without knowing who). With appropriate safeguards I may lean kidney sale legalization. But we're a long way from plasma at this point.


but then the problem is that in the kidney free market its probably poor people who give up a kidney for 20-30k (making this up). and then the poor people have one kidney, and poor people have worse health so their one kidney goes kaput.

iirc iran has a program kidney purchase program that works. its like 5k or something.

Sure. But poor people already go without something more important to them than a kidney that has shitty health outcomes. It's called money. If one person has a surplus of monies and not enough kidneys and the not enough kidneys is making him sick and another person has a surplus of kidneys and not enough monies and the not enough monies is making him sick then I'm not sure we really need to get in the way of that being resolved.

But like I said, we're a long way from plasma which doesn't significantly impact the health of the donor assuming good practices by the agency and good faith donation (not cheating their health screening) by the donor.

I'd like to read a good analysis of that bundy verdict; as well as to which charges specifically the verdict was on. I assume by tomorrow there will be a good article covering it.

Glad noone was hurt in that Pence plane incident.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

This could've been an extremely better outcome for third-party candidates with the premier partys' unfavorables.

not really. third parties are all wack in policy terms.

if sanders won and we had a bloomberg run then maybe, but the best third party candidate right now is that kotlikoff guy lol.

There are a large number of supporters that take time out of their day to make sure they upvote absolutely everything on that forum. Regardless of content, as long as it's pro-trump.

There are also bots dedicated to upvoting the content, I think. That's part of why the mods curate content so aggressively, the bots can't tell what's pro-Trump and what isn't all that well.

I've lurked the forum for a really long time and I'm pretty sure that there aren't significant numbers of up vote bots. I could be wrong though.

They've been warned multiple times about it by the people running reddit.

I would REALLY recommend that democrats avoid using the word racist so much, its so overused that its basically lost any power it may have once had as a label and has become more of an eye roll statement.

Not really.
I mean, look at the Mark Kirk video above our posts.
If I'm supposed to not call that racist, then I may as well be mute.

So you don't think that was a racist statement? That's genuinely impressive thinking.
