Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A market-based system of buying and selling human organs for transplant would increase the quantity of organs available for transplant as people would have a financial incentive to donate their organs. However, it would not necessarily reduce total health care spending as it may lead to the creation of a new industry with its own costs. It is also unlikely to create a surplus of organs as the demand for organs usually exceeds the supply. The price of organs may not necessarily be reduced either as the market would determine the price based on supply and demand.
