Plasma is a renewable resource nor is it an organ, they have been paying people to do that forever.

You wont just grow another kidney.

Seems like it should be worth more then.

You can lose a lot of weight selling plasma.

It costs them nothing but a ****ING KIDNEY. If their other kidney later fails, do they get it back?

Yeah. But it would have to be somebody I cared about that much, and there aren't very many of them.

I wish you the best. Totally.

But the doctors and such are making a killing off of it. The recipient is possibly making a non killing off of it.


Why shouldn't the person who doenst have a dog in the fight not get something out of it? Especially since they might need a back up some day .

every day .

I would risk my life for her any time. Some random? Im on to try to help on anything that's doesn't include knowing im losing body parts before the war even starts

Selling becomes a bigger issue. There are places on this planet where selling organs is perfectly legal, and trafficking is a major problem.

Oh I understand. Totally.

But in your case I think it would help you tremendously

Is it legal to sell your own organs, those of a deceased person, or just random organs that you, um, find?

The second case is the most interesting to me. Is there a country where a relative dies and the family sells all of the organs as an inheritance? I'm genuinely curious.

I haven’t heard of that. More of a problem is people taking homeless people or people in dire straits financially and offering them a “cut” of the money they get.

I'll give one up for Richie Incognito if he'll play for us.

Thats an impressively dumb post no matter which angle you look at it.

I was wondering what happens if your kidney has stones in it?

Donors do not need to take medications after donating besides some possible pain meds immediately following. Recipients will need to but not donors.

I think if I were ever to entertain the notion, I’d want a clause in the agreement: If the recipient’s body were to “reject” the kidney, I’d want the option to get it back at no cost. Call it a right of second refusal. I’d also want no-cost counseling for the kidney so it could learn strategies for coping with rejection.
