Abstract

Ethical considerations in determining whether a human organ market could exist without causing exploitation of vulnerable populations may depend on the size of the market. Some ethical and religious considerations are culture dependent; others require legal structures to protect fundamental human rights. Both these factors suggest that an ethical market in human organs may be feasible, but not necessarily in every country or across national boarders.
