Abstract
The global shortage of organ problems has led to a debate over the best way of increasing supply in which economics has featured prominently. This paper argues that the moral and technical authority claimed by economics is an example of the “performativity thesis” (Callon 1998). The paper reviews the economic contribution to the debate and investigates the way that economics legitimizes its presence in a moral debate, and posits new ways of social and ultimately moral organization. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research directions in the area.
