Purely hypothetical - just wondering how many people would do this and at what price. It's worth considering that the majority of people who are donors live long healthy lives. There are generally no long term ill effects.

*I do need a kidney, but I wouldn't buy a kidney. There are moral and ethical considerations that must be taken into account.

Im an organ donor and have been taught never to to sell an organ for money...u want to save a life then u do it for the sake of it.
If someone offered me a million bucks i wouldnt take it for a trade with my kidney. But if someone was compatible and was dying and needed it i would just give it.
Money will always come and then disappear....giving a life to someone without asking for anything is timeless.

I don't think that it right to sell your kidney because if you're going to give it away then it should be out of the kindness of you heart & the fact that you will be giving someone more of a chance at life. However, I don't think that it should be illegal for greedy people to sell their kidney. There are sooooo many people out there that would be willing to put up money for one & due to the fact that they are low on some list, there is a large chance they won't ever make it up the list. (I'm sure that you know the reality of it). I don't understand why it is perfectly legal to sell your plasma in order to help save lives, but a kidney, nooo way. Anyway, God bless you and your family for having to go through whatever you are going through & I hope that you will be one of the lucky ones.

I would consider donating a kidney to a close friend or family member at no cost as i would just want to help, if i was a suitable match obviously i would have to be tested first.
I am a donor and if my organs are needed when i go then i wouldn't be able to sell them then.

it is illegitimate interior the U. S.. i could say that advertising it could be confusing besides. i think of maximum folk can get kidney transplants extremely right now by way of fact of in elementary terms wanting one kidney to stay and the reality that many people use residing donors that are family contributors.

The whole money for organs thing would be very dangerous, as people desperate for money might do dangerous things ie sell organs they shouldn't go without. I personally wouldn't sell mine, but would certainly consider giving one away if required. All the best if you're waiting for a transplant yourself.

Yes I would. As I am a superior male I would command a price of at least 2 cabbages, 4 onions and perhaps a small bag of potato's?

I WOULD NEVER SELL OF OF MY KIDNEYS BUT I WOULD DONATE ONE, I AM ON THE LIVE DONOR LIST. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED ONLY TWICE BUT DID NOT MATCH UP WITH THE PERSON WHO NEEDED ONE.
