Overview

This text is about a proposed solution to the shortage in the supply of transplant organs. Many individuals are suffering and dying while the organs that could restore them to health are disposed of like carrion. The author proposes the creation of something akin to an options market in which healthy individuals would be given the opportunity to contract for the contingent post-mortem sale of their bodily parts. If the vendor's organs are harvested and transplanted, a payment in the range of $5000 would be made to his designee. The hospital in which the vendor dies would have the legal duty to preserve his cadaver in a manner suitable for organ harvesting. This market solution is assessed in terms of being more effective, efficient and robust than the alternatives of donation, presumed consent and required request.
