I noticed when responding to a few comments last night on my post on responses from readers on libertarianism and animal rights that my post from last July about how selling one’s kidney can save lives (and should be legal) had attracted comments from blog readers actually leaving their email addresses in hopes of selling their kidneys.
While I am pro-choice and think it’s a person’s right to do what they want with their own body, all things being equal… I think it’s best not to facilitate the selling of black market kidneys through one’s blog. I’ve therefore unapproved the comments.
But it is an interesting question to think about. Would you allow the comments on your own blog?
I guess I’d be very hesitant, if only for self-interested reasons. You’re never quite sure exactly what the laws are, the contract-terms of the webhost are, and what the PENALTIES for violating them are.
I suppose you could edit out the contact info and keep in the content that comments on the ethics of organ selling, but maybe that’d be too much work.
I wouldn’t fault you for yor decision either way. It’s a borderline question.

A friend with a web hosting company hosts me, so worrying about the hosting company is not a problem. He’s stood up for his customers against large entities before, but I don’t think it was ever for selling organs

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
