Default Pay organ donors expert suggests

Pay organ donors, expert suggests

Donor kidneys are in short supply
People should be paid for living organ donations, a US surgeon has said in an article in the British Medical Journal.
A regulated system for paying donors for organs such as kidneys would help solve the "desperate" need for organs, Professor Amy Friedman writes.

Prof Friedman, from Yale University School of Medicine, believes the system would prevent exploitation.

But British experts warned such a scheme would still exploit the most vulnerable members of society.
