Payment for kidney donation? I like this argument

The Straits Time carried an article "Approach Kidney Donations Logically" by Lee Wei Ling on 14 Jan 2009.

I must say that this has been the most logical discourse so far. This issue will always remain controversial but when we can transcend the philosophical angle as Dr Lee asserted, we take one step closer to addressing the plight of a patient suffering from end stage kidney disease.

Let's do the right thing. Donors who are willing to donate their organ should be looked after and they should have the right to choose how they want to be looked after. Sufficiently compensating them is a viable approach.
