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.

Roughly 100,000 Americans are waiting for a kidney transplant, and the times to be matched with a donor can approach a decade. On today's Block Club Chicago podcast, sponsored by Rush, Dr. Aneesha Shetty explains everything you need to know to become a donor -- and shares the personal reason she works in this field.  Host - Jon Hansen Guest - Aneesha Shetty, MD, MPH READ MORE ABOUT BECOMING A DONOR HERE Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom? CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Bureaucracy kills more transplant patients than shortage does. Jessica Wynn harvests the truth about organ donation's dark side here on Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1253On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Over 100,000 Americans wait for organs while 13 die daily — not from organ shortage, but from systemic inefficiency, poor matching protocols, and bureaucratic bottlenecks that waste thousands of usable organs annually.Living donation is safer than most realize. Donors can give kidneys, liver portions, even lungs while alive and generally recover well, but workplace protections vary wildly by state, creating real financial and career risks for altruistic donors.The organ matching system is a bureaucratic labyrinth. HRSA, OPTN, UNOS, CMS, and CDC all overlap in managing transplants, creating inefficiencies that prevent organs from reaching recipients in time despite available technology.Ethical nightmares haunt the system. Scandals include surgeons nearly harvesting from living patients, global black markets exploiting the poor, and allegations of forced organ harvesting from prisoners in countries like China without consent.Register as a donor and advocate for reform. One donor saves up to eight lives and helps 75+ through tissue donation. Push for automated referrals, airline transport mandates, and better tracking tech to transform a broken but lifesaving system.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
