Probably not going to happen, at least in our lifetimes. Too many legalities if anything goes wrong.

what about donors? except waiting till you decease, you get paid while you are alive.

its the same organ, and people would have to go throught the same procedures, such as tests.

This is a bad idea because then rich people will just abuse whatever (drink till they're sick for they're whole lives) and buy a new organ and the people that deserve it like some poor kid with a birth defect will never get one because you already sold it to the rich guy who's probably rich because he sells cigarettes to kids or something, just like the bad guy in Pooty Tang.

very good point.

but it seems like with the way things work, the rich person is going to get what he wants anyway.

i still dont know my stand on that issue..:dunno:

The rich and famous will get the organ over the impoverished kid anyway. They gave Mickey Mantle 2 new livers, when all he did is destroy the first 2 by drinking.
