Noxious Markets versus Noxious Gift Relationships
I argue that women in traditional marriages are a vulnerable source for kidneys
and this vulnerability gives rise to exploitative donation arrangements made within families.
In so doing, I critique Alan Wertheimer’s account of the impact that emotional
closeness between participants in an agreement has on the wrongfulness of exploitation. I
propose a regulated market scheme that is not only less exploitative than our current donation
scheme, but also resolves a variety of other moral problems that typically arise in
real and imagined kidney sale scenarios, problems that render markets “noxious,” according
to Debra Satz.
Keywords: exploitation; noxious markets; kidney sales; organ sales; gendered division of
