   Selling Body Parts

   Hello Bob,   
      
    BK>>> Yep. I am both pro-life and opposed to selling body parts.   
      
    LL>> Yet it is okay to sell locks of hair to companies that   
    LL>> manufacture wigs.  Some folks choose to donate locks of   
    BK>   ...   
    LL>> are not opposed to selling or giving away hair, whether   
      
    BK> You can give a kidney away, you just can't sell it.   
      
   You can offer to give a kidney away, but it is up to others   
   to decide whether that kidney will be or can be used.   
      
   By not allowing body parts (such as kidneys) to be sold,   
   there is a limitation on the number of body parts that can   
   be made available.  And that keeps prices high, too high   
   for those without insurance to be able to obtain.   
      
   Except for the independently wealthy, who can get anything   
   they want whether legal or not.   
      
    BK>>> Wrong, I figured it out long ago.   
      
    LL>> If folks can sell or give away hair, why not other body   
    LL>> parts?   
      
    BK> Cause you grow back hair. It's not critical ... to most people.   
      
   Karl Rove with hair?  You gotta be kiddin' me.   
   Don Rickles with hair?  You gotta be kiddin' me.   
   Bruce Willis with hair?  You gotta be kiddin' me.   
   James Carville with hair?  You gotta be kiddin' me.   
   Bob Klahn with hair?  Er, I'll shut up now ...   
      
    LL>>>> Now back to reality -   
      
    BK>>> Ok, who wrote this and signed Lee's name to it?   
      
    LL>> The otherworldlee Lee.   
      
    BK> Ok, I believe that. After I checked it with the Men in Black.   
      
   Well, that third episode was a bit of a clunker for Tommy Lee.   
   But at least he survived.  Sort of.  :)
