The organ market is explicitly prohibited for individuals; organ trafficking is an illegal practice that can lead to severe consequences for everyone involved. That said, we can imagine an ethical dilemma: what would happen if, by some chance, people could disclose and sell parts of their bodies, or restrict sales to parts we already use today, donating them after death? But what if, in a hypothetical scenario, we could actually trade parts of our bodies? What would that be like?
I have this thought that, if it weren't prohibited, I think people should have the right to sell whatever they want from their bodies. After all, logically speaking, it's our body, isn't it? If we're willing to sell something that belongs to us, we're entering the realm of "it's my problem," and if we find a buyer, well, it's someone interested in selling who found someone interested in buying. So the question remains: why not? I should be free and able to make that decision for myself, not the state that should prohibit it.
If I'm experiencing financial difficulties, I believe I could sell a kidney and thus get money to solve my problem. Of course, we enter into several layers of possibilities: if it were legalized, would everyone try to sell a kidney to buy worthless things? Weapons, illicit drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and things like that? This brings us back to the idea that each person is responsible for what they do with themselves. So, if they sell part of their body to spend on things they don't need, it's their decision; it's something only they can decide and do if they are in their right mind.
People should have the right to decide what to do with their bodies; after all, the body is our property. If someone does something bad to us, for example, kidnapping, killing, or something like that to take our organs, it's like theft of anything, punishable by crime and imprisonment. Now, if the action comes from ourselves, if a person in their right mind decides to sell an organ that won't significantly harm the continuation of their life, why can't we decide that? Why can't we make that decision? In my view, this is quite strange compared to other things we decide.
Regarding various taxes, we are obliged to pay them because they are said to be related to our bodies or our assets and our lives, but now, if we decide something about our bodies on our own to earn money in exchange, we can't. This is funny from a certain point of view, but anyway, I think we could have that right. After all, isn't there a lot of talk about what you prefer: losing an arm and continuing to live or dying with your whole body? In a complicated life-or-death situation, wouldn't you take insane actions like that? Why not offer something you have, then?
Ultimately, I think we should be able to decide what to do, of course signing a contract that we would take responsibility for any and all problems and not seek help from the government or other people, so everything would be at our own risk, but following the logic that we could do whatever we wanted with our bodies, in this case, selling an organ. My decision and my risk, I think there's nothing fairer than that, only the laws would need to change then, until then we can only imagine and simulate what that freedom with our bodies would be like.
