В ниже приведенной статье предлагается такс-кредит за сдачу органов. Рассматриваете ли вы етот такс-кредит как финансовую заинтересованность в сдаче органов?
Где граница между такс-кредит и прямой покупкой органов? (например, размер такс-кредита или какие либо обстоятельства, .... и есть ли граница вообше, если речь зашла о деньгах)

[In a recent letter to Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), ACP President Lynne M. Kirk, FACP, expressed support for Rep. Wilson’s introduction of the “Living Organ Donor Tax Credit Act of 2005” (H.R. 2474). The bill would provide a tax credit of up to $5,000 to organ donors to make up for any unreimbursed costs or lost wages associated with organ transplantation.

Dr. Kirk pointed out that such a credit is in line with the College’s "Ethics Manual, Fifth Edition," which discourages any direct financial incentives for organ donation. The manual states that direct incentives linked to organ transplants have the potential to exploit families of limited means. Rep. Wilson's bill, Dr. Kirk wrote, is less likely to raise the same ethical concerns.]
