s.No man has legal and certainly not moral right to
sell his body any part of it Whether there statutes
prohibiting such sale not it is wrong from every funda
mental principle of law. No one would attempt to sell
his body any part of it unless he had fallen lower than
the beasts of the field and ver than the vle No
would attempt to buy human body any part of
it unless he devoid of all moral and legal respecta-
bilty contemplate, vulgar, disgusting and
worthy of the respect of all virtuelovng people The
whole suggestion is immoral illegal, repusve and Of
fensve.'

'Gland transformation is no longer an experiment but
reality 1t is not at all immoral. 1t is within the law
to sell creative gland but of only the rich
reap the benefits of such barter would better if
laws were passed. / have been advocating for two
years providing for central hospital where the glands
and also the bones and tissues, of healthy
killed in accidents might be refrigerated and used for
transportation for the benefit of the human race"
WADE BENNETT president
hood league:
Regarding the buying and selling of human glands,
speak only from the humanst point of view. The
question of gland transportation is that final wis
dom impossible Scientists still experimenting but
from present knowledge my instinct is morally against
allowing the sale of vital part of the human body 1t
is different with blood transfusons because the body
stantly makes blood and the damage is not rrepar
able. But when a gland is removed surgicaly nature
does not make glands; should be guided by that
basic principle So believe laws should be made to pro-
unwise and rash persons if they willing to
sell their vital glands"
biologist
zoology, college, Boston:
leland transportation is subject that should be left
in the hands of reputable physicians However,
nothing unethica Objectionable in buying and selling
human glands Circumstances different in individual
AS understand it, the experiment has been
successful under certain conditions these conditions
should govern all such TRANSFORMATIONS"
ANDRE TRID0N, noted pycboanayst author:
"Why should gland transportation be considered
wrong? Buying and selling human glands is morally
wrong if it helps somebody, tho believe greater benefits
might be gained for the human by making legally
possible to refgerate healthy glands of persons meeting
violent deaths and making them available for transpanta
ton 1t should be remembered that such gland is bene
fetal not only creative way, but the regenera-
ton of the whole body and of the intellect"
