Legalizing kidney market: ethics considerations. The paper by E A Friedman and A L Friedman, advocating suitable kidney sale legislation, recently published in Kidney International, has aroused some controversy among the Italian Society of Nephrology Mailing List members (ML-SIN). A previous article reviewed the main issues and summarized Italian nephrologists' opinions. Generally speaking, ML-SIN participants were critical towards this proposal; the most widespread opinion was that trade of organs for transplant purposes is unethical and that Friedman's legislative suggestion is unlikely to succeed in Italy. To complete discussion, we report also the opinion of an authoritative Ethics expert.
