[QUOTE="BOOGIE MAN, post: 16247654, member: 26082"] So was this an organ donation or was there some sort of compensation? :D I'm still trying to wrap my head around having "extra eyes" from the first post I think. I understand there are some systems that have extra but in order for our brain to fully view our world, perceive depth, motion, etc... we need both eyes. I think there could be ways to make sure all parties benefit and perform the transaction safely but I see an amazing cascade of problems. Say you have rules and regs in place to make sure every one is safe and paid, no easy feat but you got it, then the arguments arise that "only the rich can afford it," and "is it ethical to exclude treatment for the poor when there are options?" Government intervenes, committees are formed, millions of dollars are spent researching the problem and concocting a solution. The solution costs billions, government subsidizes, taxes, and gives tax breaks all around, problem isn't completely solved, new problems pop up, more govt intervention. More money, nothing solved (Slippery slope fallacy I know but this doesn't sound unfamiliar at all). ...and Maximus said to Commodus, "the time for honoring yourself will soon come to an end."
