so if I wanted to sell an organ or two...

[rudeguy]

This came up at work. Is organ selling legal or not?

 

[meltdown75]

good question.

i thought you hated everyone.

 

[Kipper]

No. It is completely and absolutely illegal, because it subverts the entire idea of the organ donor list - by NEED, and not by financial resources.

This isn't to say that it doesn't happen, though.

 

[nakedfrog]

But how is it illegal? They're my organs, aren't they?

 

[Tiamat]

Pipe organs are very expensive. The good ones can cost as much as 20 million dollars. Very hard to maintain too...


Edit: Oh, you mean human organs... nm

No. It is illegal to buy and sell organs, for obvious reasons.

Do you really need to ask?

If it was legal to buy and sell organs, there would be a huge incentive to kill people and sell their organs.

I believe rudeguy is referring to selling your own organs.

I think there was a Law and Order about someone jacking someone's kidney.

But that's the problem- once you allow people to *buy* organs, you're going to have sellers, and incentive for people to steal and sell.

If you show up to the hospital with a kidney in a cooler, im really doubting a doctor is going to do the operation.

Id sell half of my liver, but that prolly wouldnt do the next person much good, I mean with the constant stream of alcohol running through it.
