Repugnance as a Constraint on Markets… : DASH Story 2014-04-17
Story content
I have recently discovered that a genetic per-disposition in my wife's family towards kidney disease, previously unexpressed in her generation, has suddenly reared its' head. This has implications for our children, both of whom appear healthy and happy, but in whom may lurk a ticking health time bomb.
In response to this discovery I have started a search of literature on the topic of organ donation, and organ markets, so I understand the implications of the organ transplant system in my own country (New Zealand) for my children should they need transplants later in life.
Being able to access informed peer reviewed literature on the topic easily is a great boon - especially when I am surrounded by so much information of dubious provenance. Keep it up Harvard - this doesn't decrease your value, it bolsters your brand. Thank you.
