I agreed to sit on a panel discussion of the selling of human organs. I was asked to "talk" about the psychological impact that legalization of selling might have. If anyone has thoughts on this please forward to me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or if you think it is of interest to the group reply to tips.
Here are broad contexts in which I am considering this topic 1) Psychology as it applies to a living organ seller (i.e., I decide to sell one of my healthy kidney to pay for college). 2) Psychology as it applies to the family/estate of a deceased donor (I still call them donors because they don't personally reap the rewards of the sale) 3) Psychology as it applied to the recipient or the family of a recipient or non-recipient in the context of a organ free-market so to speak. If you have thoughts or issue that you think I should raise please let me know. I was asked to fill in at the last minute and this isn't really my area of expertise (I'm not sure it is anyone's area of expertise).
