Effects of Eliminating Government Controls on Supply (organ donation)
The Iranian organ market
It might be worth looking into the organ market in Iran. Unlike in other countries, it is legal to sell your kidney to patients who need a new one. The process is regulated and charities actively help pay for patients who cannot afford to pay the donor themselves.
The result is that a kidney, which would cost more than $100.000 on the global black market can be bought for a few thousands of dollars. This also highlights an overlooked problem with the concern that a free market would put rich people in front of the line. The fact is that very rich people can always find a way to acquire the goods they want. If they do it illegally, they can hire expert lawyers to get them out of trouble.
The example of Iran shows that allowing people to sell their organs for profit will lower the barrier to entry to the point where middle class people could conceivably afford one. It also becomes possible for charities to afford to buy organs for the poor. This would not be possible if they were to pay the black market price or wait indefinitely to win the waiting-list lottery.
