As many forms of live donation do not cause harm to others, and as we allow the donation of blood for payment, we violate the categorical imperative by banning the sale of human organs.

It has been argued by some that banning organ donation is within the bounds of Kantian ethics because we have collectively agreed to the conviction that "such a practice would diminish human dignity and our sense of solidarity" (Cohen, 2002). Yet, we do not prohibit the donation of blood or of bone marrow. Indeed, most among us would agree that such donations are necessary and beneficial. Lives are saved. There is nothing morally wrong about saving lives -- indeed live donations today are conducted voluntarily and without any moral consequence. Allowing live organ donations is ethically consistent with our established principles regarding blood donation and voluntary, unpaid live organ donation.

It will increase the supply of organs, allowing thousands to survive who otherwise would not. Live organ donation is consistent with the American concept of individual rights -- we all have the right to sell an organ the same as we have the right to sell our blood. Moreover, because thousands die each year for lack of donor organs, it is morally reprehensible to continue the prohibition on live organ sales. Forcing those people to die for our sense of moral outrage is not consistent with our ethics, the morals upon which this country was founded or our sense of duty to our fellow Americans.
