Sandal gives an example of a person selling their organs to support their family, that a poor person really doesn’t choose to give up their organ for money, but they are morally obligated because they are bound to provide for their family. For this argument he focusses on the consent given by the individual and how their choices are impacted by their background. For this reason, the further expansion of the market should be resisted because people with different financial backgrounds aren’t getting an equal opportunity to benefit in the market. Also, that since individuals aren’t given a fair shot due to their financial background that this further widen gap between the rich the poor. The second objection to reason why we should resist the expanding market is due to corruption. Michael states that “points to the degrading effect of market valuation and exchange on certain goods and practices” (Line 16, pg.94). He means that certain moral values and goods diminish/weaken when we buy and sell things in a market. That by participating in the market we is can damage our outlook on life. He focuses more on the attitude of a individual towards the good in the market and how this relationship is damaging. His example to explain his idea was a further development of the poor man selling his organ what if instead of a kidney, we sold a human
