No, that's the exact question. History has shown that if the demand and hence the
price of something becomes high enough a source of supply will always be found
regardless of the law. Since there organs make the difference between life and death,
perhaps even your life and death, I would think the demand would be very high indeed,
in fact about as high as it's possible to get.

In other words stupid people can nevertheless be very successful in the illegal drug trade
but other people would fail in the organ trade because they would be smart. Huh?

A nation that wasn't stupid, ok, you got me, that means no nation would
permit it. It'll happen anyway.
