Why should one sell? It can be donated if genuinely needed by a person but no way I shall sell. I also discourage selling. Some people out of poverty are doing it and what to do with them. Govt. should come forward to help such people who are below poverty line.

I am not an organ donor so once i die my organs are going with me. But if i could sell something useless like tonsils or my appendix i would be first in line to get it cut out of me. Does that make me a bad person?

Sell no, give yes. Especially to someone younger than me. Why? If it's between a child and me? I've been here long enough. But, that's only if they could still find a healthy organ to use. We eat and drink toxic waste, you know. So, if a child with cancer needs an organ to save them, they can have mine. As the adults, our choices of industry helped to give that child cancer, so, it's only fair.

yes, i agree with you. in nowadays, most of the food we ate is not healthy, especially those fast food. that's why i seldom eat those fast food. and i like brown rice.

No way would I ever consider selling my organs, no matter how badly I needed money. I would become a live donor if a kidney was needed to save the life of one of my loved ones and I am a registered organ donor for transplant after my soul has departed my body. To sell your organs is quite a horrible thing to do because if you want someone to have one of your organs while you are alive, then donate it to them. There could not be many things that would be more dispicable than selling one of your organs to someone who needs one so that they can live. Donate organs yes, sell any no.

No. I would hate the thought of something being cut out of me. The only time that's happened was when I was a baby so I don't remember! But it would be really bad. And when I die, even though I'm not religious, I think my organs are mine and belong to my body and that's where they should stay.

No. This question reminds of the movie, "Malice," when Alec Baldwin asks Bill Pullman if he'd give up one finger on one hand for $1 million dollars. He said no, I'd say no too!

Weeelll, that depends on how much someone is willing to pay for it. I might sell a kidney for a million dollars. And I might sell some bone marrow for $100K. But I'd also give those things away for someone in great need.

unfortunatly i can never be an organ donner... cause i'm alergic to medicine... so who can use an organ from a person who already have his problems.. if it wasn't for that.. i would give anything .. even my heart...

No, I will definitely not. Some people say or maybe this is just a myth if you die and if you have some of your body parts donated, your soul will end up the same way and that is too scary to imagine.

Even if I wanted to, I can't. I'm a cancer survivor, it's 4 years now and am into remission as per the results around 5 months ago. My doc has downgraded checks to once in 9 months from once in six months. I don't think I can even donate them, so this is a question that I have put aside. Of course before I was diagnosed, I'd told my family that if I were to die in an accident, my organs could be doanted so that I could save a life - note donated,, not sold. Even if I was eligible to give away my organs, I don't think that I can make money by selling my own organs and take advantage of someone's misery, I don't do that even in my business.
