Today's issue for our communal puppet, everyone please feel free to lodge your vote and participate in the debate. (Dilemma #027) - "Cash for Colons?" The IssueHospitals have requested that they be allowed to pay people for donating blood and other bodily organs, such as kidneys. The Debate- Option 1: "We remain critically short of blood plasma and various organs," says The New Pacific Order One hospital administrator May Washington. "Especially hearts. A good heart is hard to find. But if we were allowed to pay for donations, we'd get more of them and could save more lives. Plus the donor takes home a few hundred Pacific Monetary Units in compensation. Unless it's a post-mortem donation, of course. In that case we'd pay the family."
- Option 2: "Great idea," says social commentator Beth King. "Except for one thing. You know who's going to be selling their organs? Poor people! They'll be so desperate for money that they'll sell their own kidneys. Well, a kidney. This is just another way for the rich to buy themselves a better life at the expense of the poor. It must be outlawed."

The problem with this issue is that you can get it as well as getting the Organ Harvesting one. Surely using Organ Harvesting would cancel out the need to pay for organs?
