I just heard a story of a lady in AZ who is asking for a kidney on Craig's List. I was wondering how much she was willing to pay for the kidney, but then the reporter said it's legal to solicit and receive an organ from someone, as long as no money is involved. So why would anyone donate a kidney for free?

Should the law allow people to get paid to donate organs? I can see some real ethical issues here. On the other hand, this lady will probably die, since she seems unlikely to find someone valiant enough to give her a kidney for free.
