Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allowing the sale of kidneys at a price greater than zero would create a market for kidneys, which would incentivize more people to donate their kidneys for financial compensation. This would likely increase the number of available kidneys and alleviate the shortage. A price ceiling of zero, on the other hand, would not create a market and effectively prohibit the donation of kidneys for compensation. There is indeed an organ shortage, as stated in the text.
