...Journal in 2007. "It's the poor person who sells." But Matas disagrees, noting that compensating kidney donors is no different from sanctioning sales of other body parts. "People get paid to be surrogate mothers. People get paid for sperm and hair," he says. "People say, 'Oh, those are safe and replenishable, but egg donation and surrogacy are risky, and yet they're legal.'" A legal market for kidneys may still be a long way from being socially and politically palatable, but at least it would cut down on cases like Rosenbaum...

The Western European NATO countries see Saakashvili as unstable and impetuous, and blame him for presenting Moscow with a pretext for its military humbling of Georgia...
...Ukraine, the Vice President spoke a little more freely, perhaps safe in the knowledge that President Viktor Yushchenko is increasingly embattled and that those who will likely eclipse him are less inclined to push ahead on the NATO front. "If you choose to be part of Euro-Atlantic integration - which I believe you have - then we strongly support that," Biden said in a speech after talks with Yushchenko. Biden also explicitly rejected Russia's "19th century" talk of spheres of influence. "We don't recognize, and I want to reiterate this, any spheres of influence. We do not recognize anyone...
