> Taxi medallions are licenses by the city for taxi companies, to prevent abuse.

Yeah thats why 'to prevent abuse' sure.

> - fewer deaths and injuries from accidents, or none at all. The organ transplant industry dies.

I have a solution for this, its called, it simply allow people to sell the rights to there organs or even better allow them to sell there organs outright.

But if they don't die nearly as frequently, there will still be less supply of young, quality organs.

While true, I think we are closer to the cusp of transplant organs being manufactured than we think, rather than just swapped out like a car battery like they are today.

Fuck you, you suptid fuck. Im sorry Im so harsh, but I fucking dislike Ayn Rand as much as the next guy.

There are other reasons then objectives to allow markets.

Do you truly belive there is taxi medallions to prevent abuse? If that is what you belive you must be dumb as a stump.

About organs, economists have calculated that you could save a hole lot of people if there was a market in organs. The only reason not to allow it is some ethical bullshit that does not make any sence. We allow people to work in mines and crap fishing bootes, that is a high risk job as well.

Lets see how you will feel when your wife/father/mother is dying and you can not help her/him, with the full knowlage that you could buy a organ for $10k. Lets see if you stick to your shitty ethics and keep looking down on creazy free-market people or if you will gladly spend the $10k and save a life of somebody close to you.
