I always wondered how everyone involved in organ transplanting from the surgeon, to the nurse, to the guy who mops the surgical room floor gets paid- except the person who is providing the organ.

You would think the .Gov would be all for it as it would be something else they could tax.

“…court says one can be compensated for donating bone marrow.”
Not exactly, still will not allow selling the marrow from bones but will allow stem cells extracted from blood. Supposedly on the idea that donor’s nlood will be replaced – except so will marrow taken from inside the bones: my suspicion is someone pointed out that not to allow extracting from blood would indirectly ban selling blood. And doing that would be condemning hundreds of thousands of people to death every year, not a few thousand.

The person “donating” needs to be more creative.
It is not against the law to be compensated for pain and time lost while donating an organ.

“Institute for Justice” was a great PR choice for a name. Anyone opposing them in court can appear to be OPPOSING justice.
