a market for everything

even dead bodies...

now what's wrong with allowing a family to benefit from selling your body (with your consent, signed before your death) for profit? it's grotesque, but imagine the benefit to a poor family that can't pay for the funeral: not only can they now afford a nice ceremony, they don't have all the expense of an actual burial.

seems the gov't has banned this for the wrong reasons- too many squishy people out there don't like the idea.

and, come on! like anyone really buys the argument that suddenly people will be murdered for their bodies! contracts and laws against murder (!) solve that easily.
