Overview: The article talks about Moral authority. It may be that in which one puts his highest trust. The market is in some ways our God. Like a god, the market makes something out of nothing and has the power to transform. Talking about market it says that the downside of markets is often overlooked. Science is another valuable framework for considering moral authority. Bridging moral authority with human brains, it says most people think brains are like blueprints. People are always working with each other to accomplish tasks and the degree of the interaction summons different aspects of people to the fore. Making the sale of organs illegal will not make the matter go away. An illegal market gives rise to safety issues, lack of accountability, and "really awful" exploitation of donors who have poor alternatives. The best of all possible alternatives would be to establish a voluntary system of organ donation. The article ends up with the proposal that in the United States there should be a social and political campaign to get people to voluntarily donate organs, he said—an idea that was received with a smattering of audience applause.
