Is it Really Possible To Sell Your Kidney Somewhere?

Just theoretically, I'm just wondering. Or what from your body can you sell, apart from your eggs, (in the United States)?

You can sell your hair.

I've got too many split ends.

I wouldn't anyway.

But thanks for the reply.

Ebay?.

Isn't it against the law?

Probably in some weirdos basement.

You can sell breast milk.

Could you sell blood?

Sometimes you get paid for donating blood, so that's pretty much the same thing.

some criminal gangs will take a limb as payment for a debt but be warned, if they mess up and you die, you might not have a leg to stand on

I actually heard that BEFORE pollution everyone only needed one lung.

I still can't believe it but apparently it's true.

Looks like plasma donation pays ok

Surely it takes hundreds of thousands to millions of years for us to evolve and gain an extra lung? Also, if you believe we evolved from primates then they have 2 lungs anyway.

I don't think pollution - beyond the natural atmospheric stuff - was around back then (cars, aerosols etc etc etc)

I know you can sell the er, service, of feeding someone your own milk, but can you actually like sell the stuff itself?

I know of a couple of body parts which people can sell that involves the part never having to leave the body that could earn some money if thats the primary concern.

Someone had to say it. Big bucks could be earned, for the right person of course.

Well of course. And personally being a milkmaid sounds a most lovely job to me, just like being paid to comfort someone, but some people are not able to work outside the family as they have young children or sick relatives to care for.

Have found out some good news though - yep, people are selling breast milk on it's own -

That's really cool I think.

thanks Clarribo - but it's in the States and the costs of travelling there would cancel out the benefits of the money I should think

Ah I thought you were asking about the States you meant it is ok to sell eggs there.

hiya,

yes, I guess I expressed myself badly in my original post. Yes, I meant it's okay to sell human eggs in the States. But if you have the right education, health record and appearance, you can get so much money for them there it would be worth your while financially even figuring in the costs of travel from the UK.

What kind of loon would feed their young baby milk from a random woman online?

Edit, just to clarify, I appreciate that lots of babies (preeemies in SCBU in particular) benefit form donated milk and that is fabulous but you have no idea about any screening of mother or milk from some random online

Hey there!
