And once you enter that alternative universe, you notice that even the WSJ could be there: this story (pointed out to me by Eric Budish) ran on Friday--

Its not logical, you can be a surrogate mother and "sell a baby", so why not, help save the life of a dying person and save myself from ending up on the street due to unemployment by selling a kidney. I am very healthy and have always taken care of myself. It could be saving 2 lives.
