Description

The chronic short supply of organs for transplants has become an issue not only in Japan but also in the U.S.A. In the U.S.A., there is positive support for organ sales based on the fact that the problem would disappear if they were allowed. Henry Hansmann's paper "Market for Human Organs" is worth considering in this regard. He has proposed the establishment of an "Organ market", and this is regarded as the most radical proposal among those by supporters of organ sales. In Japan, where there is almost no support for organ sales, this paper would be regarded as nonsense. However, regardless of the moral issues, this is a practical idea containing some concrete proposals. It is therefore worth serious consideration as a current view supporting organ sales in the U.S.A.
