To add to Bibek Debroy's reasoned conclusion that organ transplants are not injurious to health but legislation on the subject is, what was missed is the 'natural' legal principle of 'self-ownership': the first legal principle of classical liberalism. If this principle is widely accepted then this should be The Popularly Binding Law, above all man-made 'legislation'. It is from self-ownership that private property is derived – another 'natural' law that socialist 'legislation' violates regularly. Bibek cites Tacitus' observation that 'the more corrupt a country the more the laws' – but all these 'laws' Tacitus talks of were not 'natural laws' like self-ownership and private property. All these were man-made 'legislations' parading about as 'law'. There was corruption because corrupt people made law. So let's 'use' our kidneys.
Which brings me to my subject: How do I 'use' my kidneys? The answer: I exercise them. How do I do that? Why, I piss, stupid! I drink beer regularly. It is great for the kidneys. Indeed, regular beer drinking flushes out kidney stones. My grandmother flushed out hers drinking beer – a German doctor's prescription for her condition. So, I drink beer – and piss.
I learnt something from Frederico Fellini's grandfather when I saw Amarcord as a lad. The old man had guzzled many glasses of wine during a long family lunch. He returned from a piss and announced to his entire clan assembled around the big table:

'To be fit as a fiddle, a man must piddle.
Something is amiss when a man doesn't piss.'
My motto too. I drink tea, coffee, beer – especially beer. Renal report says all's OK with 'my' kidneys.
We mistake hunger to be the problem. The real problem is thirst. You can stay without food for days on end: you cannot survive a few hours without something to drink. You die of thirst faster than you die of hunger. So drink. Its good for you, and good for your kidneys too. If you eat all day, you'll shit all day – and that's not what Fellini's grandpa advised. So drink all day, and piss all day – and all will be well.
But what do you drink?

Water is boring – and full of germs.
Fish f*** in water.
Think about that!
Think about that!
