This is a pretty involved question for this short space. I can point out that money has made a commodity out of everything in our world today. In many countries, organs are bought and sold: sometimes they are stolen from people. Mortality is something all people must deal with. The rich, in the story, think they can buy some time. As long as there is enough money, someone will supply the demand. This is true today and will continue to be in the future.
