Subject: That eBay auction of a human kidney

The recent moral outrage surrounding the sale of Live8 tickets on eBay
reminded me of the 1999 eBay organ trafficking scandal. The details of
this are quite well-known now, though I am not sure the key questions
have really been addressed. To recap, in 1999 a human kidney appeared
on the internet auction website eBay. Perhaps it is needless to say
that the auction was terminated by eBay, though not before the highest
bid reached extraordinary figures.
