We should legalise the sale of kidneys.
Currently in Australia, the waiting list for kidney transplants is far too long - two people die per day, waiting.
Legalising the trade of organs may mean poor people have access out of a vicious cycle of poverty, and people who are on these waiting lists can have access to a transplant that would save their life.

Currently, Iran has a system of legalised organ trade, and they have no waiting list for transplants. Should people be able to decide entirely what happens to their own body? i.e Comprehensive bodily autonomy?

It is proposed that the Australian Government should regulate, and legalise the sale of kidneys.
