Big money for everyone except the donor.

For example, suppose you wanted to donate a kidney.

The hospital makes money by the use of their facilities.
The physician makes money by performing the surgery.
The donee gets his freaking life back by getting a new organ.
And the donor is FORBIDDEN to charge for his services.

True, but it's worse than that.

There are disproportionate fat paydays for:

The "counselor" that obtains permission from the families of donors that have not indicated a choice.

The harvest surgery team.

The transport team, air and ground.

The "charity" organizations that maintain the lists and move felony prisoners and lifetime drunks like Mickey Mantle to the top.
