Feeding the Fire of Imagination

Okay, here's a question I've seen addressed in a book and a Law and Order episode recently. In America, it is legal to donate your organs to someone who needs them, but it is illegal to sell those same organs to someone who needs them. One reason for this is to make sure that the poor get as much of a shot at a healthy life as the rich, which I agree with. However, you are allowed to sell plasma, hair, and other such things, but not a heart, kidney, etc. The interesting question is, it's your body, should you be able to sell parts of your body? Should the government have say over what you can and cannot do to your body?
