Okay, I do agree with what you’re saying, at least as far as “we live in a broken society” and capitalism is bad. But why should the response to any idea short of tearing down the system be negative? If there’s a way to help improve things… shouldn’t we go for it? It sucks that society sucks but that’s not an excuse to ignore potentially helpful ideas.
People already self-mutilate (living kidney donors), and they are seen as heroic. Unfortunately, they take a financial hit as a result of their decision. What an injustice. Shouldn’t we try to offset that? What makes this “wrong”?

The idea is for kidney donation to be financially neutral. So you wouldn’t do this for financial gain. Currently, it’s financially net negative.
Putting nitpicks with the specifics of their system aside, how is it wrong to take kidney donation from a financial negative to financially neutral?

It surprises me as well that kidney donations cost the donor ~50k, but I guess that’s why I’m not an expert.
