This is a market-based approach to the
often unequal supply of organs to

In this era of Facebook-scale databases of every living human, it seems
feasible to have drivers and riders register their blood group etc in a
way that can be linked to their licence plates, so that the speed limit
increases can be targeted more precisely. |
