Brecher argues that the practices of selling blood and kidneys are akin to the practices of prostitution and wage-labour since they all involve commodification and, by implication, should be subject to legal prohibition. I suggest that these practices need not involve commodification and that they should only be condemned if people are forced into them because of their lack of power. Rather than these practices being prohibited, I suggest that it would be preferable if they were subject to state regulation in order to protect the weak from exploitation.
布雷彻认为，卖血和卖肾的行为类似于卖淫和雇佣劳动，因为它们都涉及商品化，并且含蓄地说，都应该受到法律禁止。我认为这些行为不一定涉及商品化，只有当人们因缺乏权力而被迫从事这些行为时，才应该受到谴责。我建议，与其禁止这些行为，不如对其进行国家监管，以保护弱者免受剥削。
