My answer depends on whether he received a hooker and a nice hotel room with lots of ice. |

I saw a guy on reddit the other day who said he got $200k for donating his kidney on the black market. I might consider that, but I don't think I'd give one away just for fun.

I donated one of mine to a relative about 10 years ago. So far so good. Donating a kidney should not result in you taking any new meds. Donors are rigorously screened, and are generally more healthy than the average population. Long term studies show they do quite well
In regards to not having a backup this is true in terms of traumatic injuries, but most kidneys are lost due to medical reasons, and these conditions like diabetes and hypertension effect both kidneys, so they both fail. Definitely not a decision to be taken lightly though. Last edited by SupDock; 05-19-2018 at 09:52 AM.. |

The only organ I'm donating is the one between my legs and just for females on the donor waiting list.

Is it really a donation when you have to pay them to receive it?

As someone in need of a kidney, that guy really is a hero.
If I could, I would. Maybe not without knowing what I know now, four years into dialysis. Donating a kidney shouldn’t be any more eventful than a few days in the hospital and a couple weeks of R&R. No new meds, no changes in lifestyle. For the person receiving it, it not only is a literal life saver, it gives them back their life. Being tethered to a machine is no way to live. I know. |

![]() I know this may be a stupid question but have you look at international options? Is it viable or allowed?

I wonder with this guy if he would have liked to give it to a particular person or not. It appears that he wasn't motivated by helping a particular individual, even though that's the obvious outcome. I wondered too about the payment. He's going to have significant medical bills, so I'm presuming that some organization or some person paid them for him. Was it the recipient? Some nonprofit? And my impression is that he didn't sell the kidney, though I guess I don't know that.
