Main Article Content

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to present arguments that justify the incorporation of financial incentives for solving the scarcity of organs needed for transplants. In order to identify the arguments that justify the organ market proposal, a conventional microeconomics analysis and the simplified wellbeing analysis are used. It is concluded that the financial incentives could potentially increase the supply of organs and amplify the range of options for individuals.
