Oomis,
I believe the question was whether someone who needed the kidney should try to get it. I therefore gave my answer. And the logic remains. Note that I clearly said that we are not talking about a case were the organ would be forcibly removed. In a case where a person would be willing to do so for money, ,which is illegal in the US, why would pikuch nefesh not be doicha.
And I was not talking about setting a business for the purchase and sale of organs. The comment was in response to the question, regarding the patient.
The chillul hashem in this instance appears to be that the person involved was forcing people to donate (read the details). I suspect it would not be such an issue if it was clear that people approched him that they were willing to sell an organ and he ended up using that opportunity to save two lives. (One with an organ and one with desperately needed funds). This was however a csae that the media found easy to sensentionalize to the extreme.
I am afraid to see what words of wisdom the President is bound to add, since he seems eager to comment on these types of stories of late and to qoute him “stupidly”.
