There are currently federal laws that prohibit the sale of human organs. The effect of this law is to make it illegal for someone to sell their own organs, thus drastically decreasing the supply of human organs available to those requiring them. I'm wondering if there have ever been any constitutional challenges to such a law, on some sort of grounds related to the interference of the law with a sick individual's right to medical treatment or their right to stay alive (or some other related right of the sick individual). If so are there court rulings on the subject, presumably upholding the law? |
