Abstract

This paper canvasses recent arguments in favor of commercial markets in human transplant kidneys, raising objections to those arguments on grounds of the role of injustice, exploitation, and coercion in compromising the autonomy of those most likely to sell a kidney, namely, the least well off members of society. Keywords: autonomy, coercion, economic necessity, exploitation doi: 10.1093/jmp/jhp049
