Abstract

In this paper I develop and defend my arguments in favor of the moral permissibility of a legal market for human body parts in response to the criticisms that have been leveled at them by Paul M. Hughes and Samuel J. Kerstein. Keywords: kidneys, markets, organs, Paul M. Hughes, Samuel J. Kerstein doi: 10.1093/jmp/jhp044
