Drawing on perspectives from economics, public administration, and religion, this case introduces students to the phenomenon of "repugnant transactions": transactions that are considered too immoral to be brought into the mainstream market. Through the example of selling one's kidneys, students navigate the ethics, morality, and legality of such transactions.
