As well as a transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor. Not allowing the transfer produces nothing. Allowing the transfer provides value in health and wealth for all parties
It's like if you have leftover food on your dinner table and there's a starving person outside your door who wants to buy your leftovers, yet you have to throw the leftovers away because the law says so. You make less money, the starving person continues to starve, and the food turns to mush.
We understand the concept of trade in most things in our lives (a plumber trades you his service and you trade him your money), but on the kidney issue, we're not applying the concept. I think this kind of schizophrenia is rampant in society
