What happened?
podcast-host
But the result was that violence and rape of women went down and sex increased.
podcast-host
The lesson to me is whether or not someone approves of prostitution.
podcast-host
It shows that policies can have consequences very different from what we expect.
podcast-host
And essentially you're not asking people to approve a prostitution.
podcast-host
What you're asking them to look at honestly is what different policies actually produce in terms of results.
podcast-host
These issues are definitely not as black and white as most people assume.

When people first hear the idea of paying kidney donors or paying for organ donation, their reactions are absolutely not.
podcast-host
But this is a market that you know well, you've studied well.
podcast-host
How do you think about paying kidney donors?
podcast-host
Al, what are the three takeaways you'd like to leave the audience with today?
podcast-host
Your three takeaways are not what I was expecting.
podcast-host
What I was expecting sometimes changing a rule can save more lives than inventing a new technology.
podcast-host
Second, we should judge policies not only by our intentions but by their consequences.
podcast-host

podcast-host
Thank you, Al.

podcast-host
