Slightly weird question that I need help with.

Not to freak you all out or anything, but does anyone know a good, reliable place to sell a kidney?

I mean, I wouldn't want to do it black market because I'd be scared of them deciding to just take both and kill me while I'm anaesthesized, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure that selling organs (even your own) is illegal in America so I'm having a hard time coming up with somewhere safe to perform an operation like that. I heard that one guy tried advertising on eBay but it got yanked, so that's out of the question anyway. Oh, and I'm also assuming that if I did it on a patient-client basis (I find someone willing to pay for one of my kidneys), that the patient would pay for the operation.

Of course, problem being that I'd have no clue where to find such a person.

So, I thought that I'd ask you guys instead.

My blood type is O+ if that helps any.

Honestly, I don't think it's legal to sell any organs in the states. Dave just looked that up, I believe and said that its not...

*blink*

Really?! Completely and totally illegal in all the states? Even if they're your own?

*has the uneasy feeling that the answer will be yes*
