		<description><![CDATA[I have no solution to offer, only an observation.

Of corse free markets are the best solution to allocating scarce resources.

But for human organs and all things regarding human health, the the future is here now.  If not, 2  or 4 or 6 years from now.

With the decoding of the human genome and all the follow on research.  We now are close to regenerative medicine.  Which will render all the questions of scarce resources moot.

It&#039;s not a satisfying solution.  But the point is soon moot.

All my people are already dead.  And that makes it easy to be casual.

In the mean time, there&#039;s intravenous vitamin C and all the rest.

Good luck.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone with even a casual understanding of how the US transplant organ distribution system works can see that Williams is laughably ignorant about the subject, and is merely using it as another vehicle to spread the gospel of free markets.  As someone who worked for years in one of America&#039;s largest kidney and pancreas transplant programs, I know what I&#039;m talking about.  

Williams claims that the dearth of viable transplant organs represents an &quot;abject policy failure,&quot; but doesn&#039;t bother to say why.  Merely because the government is involved with it?  What metric is Williams using?  

Williams compares donation of blood, semen and hair to the donation of kidneys, lungs, parts of livers, colons and spleens.  He does not seem to know that living organ donors are heroes because by donating they not only save another person&#039;s life, but often accept long-term health problems which are likely to shorten their own, and often need to take medications the rest of their lives to deal with say, only a partial pancreas.  

Currently, the government codifies into law ethical rules designed by the transplant community itself, for the distribution of limited organs.  A liver which comes available would be given to the boy whose life will be long and healthy with that transplant, for instance, rather than the 85 year old chronic alcoholic with diabetes and congestive heart failure. Such ethical decisions are made all the time by doctors (decisions which Sarah Palin would call a &quot;death panel!&quot;).  

Williams&#039; human meat-for-sale proposal may add somewhat to the over all number of available organs, as desparately poor people sell organs to wealthy patients, but such a market would obliterate the entire ethical approach to distributing organs, and end up with wealthy 85 year old alcoholics extending their lives for a year or two while less wealthy boys who could have lived long and healthy with that organ, die.
The real zinger is that Williams suddenly puts enormous trust in the government - the one which apparently can&#039;t do anything right - to properly subsidize and look after the poor who need to buy organs under his tissue market proposal.

Williams&#039; article reads like a send-up of rapacious capitalism.  Free markets are wonderful systems for the trade of goods and services, but they are not ethical systems in and of themselves, and surely don&#039;t solve every human problem. There are some things that the market should not bear.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is clear Williams is painfully ignorant on the subject of the US organ transplant system, and is simply using the subject as a vehicle to promote the gospel of free markets (he might has well have been writing about automobile manufacturing, or peanut farming).  I worked for a few years in one of America&#039;s largest kidney and pancreas transplantation programs and know something about it.  
Williams determines that the current system is an &quot;abject policy failure,&quot; but doesn&#039;t let us know why this is so.  Is it the mere fact that the government is involved?  We currently transplant about 30,000 organs every year in the US.  Is that too low?  Are the wrong patients getting transplants? By what metric makes it not only a &quot;failure,&quot; but an &quot;abject&quot; one?
  
He blithely compares selling of blood, semen and hair to the selling of kidneys, lungs, parts of a liver or pancreas, or colon.  He doesn&#039;t understand that living donors of these vital organs are considered heroes because they have accepted future health complications of their own, and often shorter lifespans of their own.  In many instances, they need to be on medications for the rest of their lives to counter the effects of say, living with a partial liver.  

The problem which exists now is not having enough organs available - not only in terms of overall numbers, but having the right &quot;match&quot; among available organs.  So, those evil people in the &quot;government!&quot; have codified the ethical standards developed in the field of organ transplant to set up rules about who gets these limited organs. Rules and guidelines exists so that a liver goes to a child who will live a long healthy life with that liver, as opposed to transplanting it into an 85 year old chronic alcoholic (decisions doctors have made forever and which Williams and Sarah Palin would call &quot;death panels!&quot;).

Williams&#039; meat-for-sale approach may expand the number of total available organs, but not by much.  And what it would do is allow that 85 year old alcoholic to buy that one liver which also happens to be a match for that less-wealthy little kid, who will die.  The free market approach Williams suggest obliterates any consideration of human ethics.  Oh, and I LOVE his sudden faith in government - which in other parts of Williams&#039; world can&#039;t do anything right - to be able to subsidize and properly take care of the poor patients who can&#039;t buy their live-saving organs, so that nobody gets left out. Yeah sure.   
 
Williams&#039; thoughtless article reads as if he&#039;s doing a send-up of rapacious capitalists.  Free markets are wonderful, but they are not the answer to every human problem, and in many instances we can and should do better than simply &quot;what the market will bear.&quot;]]></description>

And in that way, not in anywise are foodstamps correctly held to be charity, but rather, simply an essence of the entire nation prov;iding for itself as a whole, . . . but now, of men and women in D.

		<description><![CDATA[The true view—and which correctly obviates discussion about whether the farmer gives food away—is that, growers have chosen to participate in the larger picture which farm economics in Society is.  While I cannot say whether all aspects of the farm programs are well-designed or are properly administered (And I do think that, if ethanol is necessary, why then, in the larger world economy, it should be left to the Brazilians.), and whether or not all farmers fully understand the present national system of agricultural production, the fact remains, the farmer is not &quot;giving&quot; anything &quot;away&quot; (except that amount which he is free to donate to some local food bank), but is signatory to benefits—such as crop insurance against failure, disaster, and price inequities, etc.—guarantees and foodstamps are simply a part of the whole, assuring that, whatever the reader chooses to do, it&#039;s pretty sure that, he is free to do that and, without large amounts of his (the reader&#039;s) valuable time to be inefficiently spent in the drudgery which food production, is.

While, whether or not human organs should be sold, is a separate matter for discussion, food is donated to qualifying recipients, and as a necessity to keep our USA system afloat.  The need for such addition at that level of Society was first noted when during WW I, it was found that, simply for inadequate nutrition, the war-effort was limited in available man-power.  Naturally, &quot;What do we have to do—simply give people food?  How will they ever learn to work?&quot;, was posited as a thing in reason.  Eventually, of course, the logic dawned:  &quot;Yes, food must be donated to perennially necessitous and otherwise improvident people.&quot;—and if from that example only, as making adjustments to the overall picture of life in the USA, all governmental advisors are not simply daft, . . .]]></description>
