Been done on eBay already. In fact, they had to "amend" the eBay rules because of it...

I picked up a few livers from some Mormon kids a few years back... the way I drink, they will come in handy. They even included shipping with the eBay purchase!

If someone offered me a couple million I would give them a kidney.

I'm sure most would.

Seriously?
There's no way I would sell my body parts. Not for $2 million and not for $10 million.
What happens if you get sick or you get older and your remaining kidney goes bad? What do you do then? Live in dialysis for the rest of your life? How much does that cost? Is it worth it? I don't think so.
Now, if a family member was sick and needed a kidney or a piece of my liver and I could provide it I would.
But, I wouldn't sell my organs just for profit.

Would you have your little toe on your left foot transplanted if I could give you enough money to never have to work again, buy a nice house, nice car (for the rest of your life) and to have enough money to ensure that your children would go to a good college?
You can live a perfectly normal life with one kidney.
Considering the quality of life you would have... 2,000,000 is an amazing deal! It's not like you are giving your lungs or heart.

No, I wouldn't sell my left toe, LOL!
I happen to really LIKE my body.
Now, just for the record, I AM an organ donor as listed on my driver's license. They can have every last scrap of me if it will help someone else live.
I'm just not doing it while I'm still using it!

It's illegal in the United States. I don't think that I would want to sell my kidney. The surgery for the donor is risky and the recovery is usually loner with increased pain.

I'm with you! I need everything I have! Not enough money in the world for parts of my body!
