Uh, no. You can’t assume your preferences apply to everyone. Different people value different things, and people change their valuations based on their current situation. You can look at aggregate behavior to come up with a model of what the majority of people will do, but there will always be outliers.
ETA: You also have no idea if it’s going to be a few thousand dollars. Since there’s no existing market, we don’t have any historical data, and we have no idea where the price will settle. The price could very well settle much higher than a few thousand dollars.
If you have a lot of geographically small countries bunched together, like parts of Europe, you could do it but you need to keep travel times down when transporting organs (which is why private airplanes are a common mode of transport). It’s not even practical to move organs from one side of the US to the other, an available organ in Boston is useless to someone who needs it in LA.
I did. Nor do I consider my comment “wild”. It isn’t even all that original; pointing out that it amounts to exploitation of the poor by the rich is a common complaint about such schemes.
So possibly organs from the northern part of Mexico could be transported to the Southwest US? I don’t know how Mexico regulates patient protection, so I guess that would be an area to examine if you did set up a post-mortem payment system.
Yes, that is possible for the areas in close proximity. I know there have been a few instances of organs crossing the US-Canada border when a donor is found in one country but the only person nearby who can use the organ(s) is on the other side of the border. It would not surprise me at all if the same has already occurred between donors and recipients near the US-Mexico border.
