I want to see everyone who needs a kidney get one

Then reducing kidney failure is a critical first step. Improving the quality and accessibility of dialysis and comparable treatments would be a big second. Developing prosthetics would be up there, too. And figuring out how to economically incentivize carving organs out of desperate people would be way down the line.

I'm not denying that there are many ways to help with the problem. I reject the notion that "desperate" people will choose to sell their kidneys. The proposed system has several key components that prevents this from happening -- in particular, tax credits are of little use to someone struggling to get by.

As evidenced above, they could just as easily have them stolen.
