Is $13,000 the Market Price for a Kidney?
The Saudis and Israelis, who rarely agree on anything, seem to think so. According to this report, a new Saudi "law allows nonrelative donors to receive SR50,000 ($13,333) for donating an organ or part of an organ." As I reported in an earlier post, an Israeli court decision recently set the compensation due kidney donors at roughly $13,000.
