3. The sale of organs is illegal so as to not encourage the harvesting of them.

Organs have little or no commercial value. As such, the market for them is much smaller than it would be otherwise.

13. Organs are forbidden but there's a healthy market for the exchange of bodily fluids.

14. Well, define "allowed"

I mean, if you call them "sofa pillows," where's the harm? Who's the victim? I think with some ingenuity and sensitivity, it could be done in a safe and productive way.

16. Oh, yeah

Well-known in organ commerce circles. Their trade journal, Inside Job, has a lot of information for the up and coming organ commodities trader. :thumbsup:

17. I wonder if I would be able to hook up with a doctor willing to...

assist in harvesting the organs as well. Just a hypothetical.
