    There’s an international organ black market and plenty of people with medical training willing to participate in it if the pay is good enough, though.

    The people will likely still die, but misery profiteers probably WILL still step up organ theft as a result of this awful decision from the kakistocracy.

      There might be some heroic backyard surgeons who try, but mostly this is done in normal hospitals, it’s just that no one is asking where the organ comes from.

        It doesn’t seem like it would be that hard to kill someone and take their liver, I’m not sure why we’re acting like the black market organ trade gives a shit whether the people they steal organs from live or die. You could easily harvest a person for parts on a table the way you would a deer or any other animal.
