While that is perhaps a good motive to support organ compensation it is a bit unfair, not every human has thousands to spend on vital necessities. Vital organs should not cost anything, none of us has the right to put a price tag on life. In the long run organ compensation would not work and instead it would increase more problems if the patients awaiting organ transplants were allowed to pay or even bid for organs, that would be disastrous and perhaps even a crime to life itself. Many transplant centers have very strict organ donation regulations to even discourage the donor from donating to someone in need, of course this someone in need would be a person of the donor choice, some sites flatly refuse “directed donations”, they feel such are unfair to the queue system (Postrel Paragraph 6-8). While indeed the strict regulations with the current system may cause the illegal act of buying organs, one could simply go online and sell their non-vital entrails to a prosperous individual who needs them, if they were so sneaky to get away with it, the next day there would be a perfect organ donor for that wealthy patient.

Alexander T. Tabarrok proposed an idea that is known as “no give no take”, this idea proposes that if one agreed to organ donation before needing an organ themselves they would be first in line to receive an organ if they ever happen to be in need of one (Tabarrok Paragraph 5, lines 1-3). One of the main benefits of this proposal is that it promotes responsibility, just like school work, if you do your work ahead of time you will be rewarded in some way most of the times. It is a fair system, why should someone who refused to donate their organs before be granted an organ if they ever needed one. The “no give no take” rule would work with very simple processes, children will be eligible for organ donations till they are sixteen years of age, upon reaching sixteen, they will have the option to sign up for an organ donor card (Tabarrok Paragraph 7, lines 1-8). The card would serve similar to a life or car insurance. Additional measures would be in place, one must have been in the program for at least one year before the right to receive an organ took effect (Tabarrok Paragraph 7, lines
