I don't understand why blood, marrow, and organs have to be donated. I agree that the concept is discussing, but in a life and death situation people should be able to pay to "encourage" a donor.

Already there are a lot of people who go to third world countries to buy organs. If it was legal to buy organs people wouldn't have to risk the unsanitary operation condition.

Furthermore, seeing as giving blood or marrow is less dangerous there should be no reason not to allow people to buy them.
