It's far from obvious to me that hiding 100 pounds of various living organs
inside a brainless body is more difficult than hiding thousands of tons of illegal drugs.

There are few organ user now because the procedure doesn't work all
that well, immunity problems, but we were postulating a time when that difficulty
has been overcome, through cloning.

It does work that way, the average doctor is far richer than the average
entertainment provider because for every superstar there are thousands
of actors, singers, comedians, and writers who make peanuts. And health
care is one of the few industries larger than entertainment.
