An Economic Riddle: Who has Money but One Kidney

The harsh truth is today, humans can't always expect altruism. Whether an incentive is motivated by money or pure philanthropy, as long as it resorts to the provision of kidney supplies for medication---personal motives are not the economy's biggest concern. 

Despite the obvious advantages of such an exchange, legalizing the kidney market should sustain mutual benefits. If legalizing the kidney market were to happen, enforcing policies that consider both economic and moral dimensions can be instrumental in establishing sustained parameters.

Without further ado, Who has Money but One Kidney---should be you.
