In reply to the discussion: John Stossel is on Fox News advocating for the trade in human kidneys. [View all]Mojo Electro
(362 posts)He literally laughed off the idea that rich people harvesting the organs of perfectly healthy poor people (sometimes for as low as 2,000) could be exploitation, or that a person in a poor country selling a kidney for a few thousand dollars to a rich westerner might not fully appreciate the gravity of that decision.
John Stossel has this peculiar mental twist. He has zero concept that anybody else's experience in life might be different than his own. In his mind, everybody is John Stossel. The rich Stossels should be free to harvest the organs of the lesser Stossels at will.
Everything is for sale. You like to eat don't ya?
I've never been so amused to see a video of someone being sapped in the face.
(I admit to being amused at the Danzig one, but I like Danzig)
I'm not against the donation and transplant of organs, it saves lives. But the international trade and brokering of human body parts from people in poor countries. That's about as low-down and shady as it gets.
