To sell or not to sell?

Yes i think a person has the right to sell one of their organs if desired. After all its their body they have the right to do so what they want with it. If it is legal to harm your body by such things as smoking or drinking which are not a good thing, then why can't people do something good with their body for a change and save a life. I understand what the argument would be there would be poor people on the street wanting to see their kidneys and there would be alcoholics who would receive a liver only because they trashed their own. But that is where the process of organ selling needs to be different from any other market in the United States it needs to be regulated. For example companies are allowed to feed society food that has been proven to cause cancer and is highly unhealthy for you or sell you cigarettes which most likely will cause you to end up with lung cancer if you become addicted. If only the government would step in and take control of  what could be a good thing that is the selling of organs i don't see how it could be a bad thing. This is something that should really be considered the pros definitely out weight the cons. When you look at the example of kidney transplants there are so many people who have to wait for a kidney and shouldn't have to because there are far to many people willing to sell it. Also in this case the people in need are willing to pay the money whatever it takes, life is priceless isn't it? So why not regulate who would be selling an organ make them go through rigorous testing and back round check if they turn out to be healthy, then i don't see why it can't work. I also believe if it were to happen all of the illegal selling that goes on right now and isn't good because of the fact that people are desperate and don't know what they would be receiving would be something of the past because it would be legal. After reading the article my opinion hasn't changed. i agree with what the article has to say bringing up the point that we should be able to sell organs it just has to be done right.
