Text the show! What happens when a morally well-intentioned system produces terrible results?Chad begins with the case of Keith Lott, a 47-year-old New Jersey man whose family says they spent two days fighting an organ procurement organization over whether his organs could be recovered after his death.But that story opens a much larger question.America desperately needs kidneys. Living donation has remained essentially flat for decades. Dialysis costs taxpayers enormous sums. And yet federal law prohibits compensating the one person without whom a transplant cannot happen: the donor.Why?Chad traces the answer back to the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984, explores the strange contradictions in what Americans can legally be compensated for donating, and asks whether our moral assumptions have actually produced the outcomes we intended.The episode examines Iran's controversial compensated kidney system, Israel's successful use of non-cash incentives, the danger of exploiting low-income donors, the economics of dialysis and transplantation, and current proposals for carefully regulated donor compensation.The larger idea is what Chad calls “incentive morality.”What systems actually get people to do the most good?Because civilizations aren't built by wishing human beings behaved differently. They're built by designing institutions that work with human nature while protecting freedom, dignity and consent.And sometimes the moral thing isn't demanding better people.It's building a better system.

On this episode of This Thing Called Life, host Andi Johnson is talking with E. Denise Peoples. She is a comedian, actress, singer, writer, producer, radio host, and motivational speaker. She is a double lung transplant recipient, and most importantly, she is a Christian. African Americans are at a higher risk of heart disease. Research suggests that African Americans may carry a gene that makes them more salt sensitive, which increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. Tune in for her story and great knowledge.   Episode Highlights:  In December 2000, while coming from the second floor of the house, Denise was short of breath, which lasted until February. She went to her primary doctor, and she was treated for pneumonia but nothing got better. Denise got diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which at that time was an older white male smoker's disease. The only alternative is a lung transplant or double lung transplant as this disease progresses. After being selected for a play audition and receiving health-related confirmation from a pulmonologist, Denise learned a lot about her body and herself while in Paris. When they came home at the end of 2003, things just started going down, and the disease was progressing so fast. Denise ended up on oxygen 24 hours a day.  One night around 10 o'clock Denise told her manager that she  was so tired of living like this. Soon she had a call from the hospital and they said, “Miss Peoples, we've got lungs, we need you to get to the hospital.”  The next day after surgery, Denise woke up and felt her face, but the nurse asked, “Are you looking for the cannula? She said it's there, but you are breathing on your own.” These are the absolute best words she had heard in years. Andi asks Denise, “You are with New Jersey Sharing Network, which procures organs and tissue for transplant, and they have 57 OPO's throughout the country. How did you end up there? Andi asks, “What do you believe is the reason why African Americans don't register or think about being a living kidney donor? For COVID vaccination, many of us refuse to be vaccinated because of distrust. We want to roll the dice and do something different, and we are just seeing that's not working, says Denise. When Denise got to the emergency room for the Covid swab test, sitting there and waiting for hours was the worst experience because she wondered, “Why do you have a lung transplant patient sitting with everybody else?” Once Denise returned home after 21 days in the hospital, she was doing good, was never on oxygen, and was always at room temperature. Her oxygen levels never went under 90. But her body was stiff, and she focused on getting her strength back. Andi asks, “

Nancie Rothman didn't ask to be an advocate or a non-profit founder; the duties came to her as a means of paying it forward after her youngest daughter Emma went into sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 12 and received a life saving heart transplant 17 hours later. Overwhelmed and inspired by the community which rallied around her family during their ordeal, and awakened to the lack of information the typical person has regarding organ donation, the Rothman's founded Hearts for Emma, a dual-purposed organization focusing on caring for families dealing with a medical crisis, as well as organ and tissue donation awareness and advocacy.
