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.

*prods her flist for help*

My blood type is O+ if that helps any.

You've got to be kidding me.

I have to second Neko on this - that you don't do this over a laptop... you don't.. just... no.

Don't think about doing something like that! Please >.< And I do think that it is illegal here... not positive, but I'm pretty sure that it is illegal mostly b/c it's something that can actually be donated. Fickle, and if it is illegal you *know* it's not something that's safe... and your friends want you *safe*. This would not qualify as being safe. >.< Please tell me that this is not for you and this is not for your laptop - and don't lie. Please.

Not to freak you all out or anything

X_x Okay, I donno... if I started a post like that - or Neko ... or even any of your friends... would you freak out? @_@ Fickle... please >.> No.

And if this isn't over your laptop, sorry. Either way, if this is for you... >.>

I'm now convinced it's illegal. Really. *nods* So, not going to happen, so don't worry about it.

Re: Thank you.

hai hai... I saw all the comments - first thing I checked on being that I just woke up ^^; *snugs* And actually, I was almost tempted to joke about how I had jokingly told people I'd sell my body for money, but didn't think that would come out as a joke yesterday X_x So why am I saying it now? B/c others seemed to have beat me to it and -- I donno.

I'm shutting up now. *hugs you* ::snugs:: Hope you slept well.
