Opening the body market
Beth Plocharczyk at 01:54 PM
Eugene Volokh comments on this AP article about bodies donated to science being used in land mine research by the military.
Professor Volokh doesn't see much of an ethical dilemma in bodies ....
Beth is right, there's a need for perestroika and glasnost when it comes to heath care and the death industry. But it is for us, the living that these reforms are most needed. 4,532 people died last year in the usa because of organ shortages caused by overregulation. Of course it isn't essential for we the living to change usa policy; Andora or San Marino would do as well. World travel is cheaper than usa healthcare, when life is at stake. The advantages of transnational anarchy.
