"Incorrect. Drawing on Titmus's blood study - The Gift Relationship, I have shown that a society in which there is no prohibition on the sale enhances the negative freedom of being able to sell something, but reduces the positive freedom to give away something (blood) that cannot (legally) be sold. Thus, we do not face a simply either government or freedom choice; government enhances some freedoms, and reduces others." I only know of the Red Cross taking blood in Australia, so if you can tell me that private sales of blood are illegal in Australia, your claim gets a lot more credibility. Furthermore you or Titmus have not explained why commodification reduces altruism.
