Why?
Why, in particular is is 'wicked' to make the best deal you can for
something. We're assuming that the person you're dealing with is competent
and you are not being fraudulent, right?
Is selling your body off for spare parts (and thus committing suicide,
because you get disassembled) something that you have a right to do if you
enter into the deal fully informed of the consequences and decide to do it?
If so, how is this different?
