Of course, I realize that $10 doesn't get you very far, but we pay FAR MORE to organ donors. Remember, you only need one kidney - why not sell the other one for top dollar? Similarly, you've got two eyes, so why not turn that spare retina into quick cash? And did you know that you can survive with just half your liver - the other half can be successfully transplanted to a needy rich person whose own liver has been destroyed (possibly by exposure to chemicals that my company manufactures).
So come on folks, this is the time to step up to the plate. With the economy sinking fast, I anticipate a large number of suicides, in which case prices for organs may start going down. Remember, in a free market, it's all about supply and demand. Turn those organs into fast cash now - you might even be able to pay off your student loan!
I paid off my student loan with just one kidney!
Keep in mind that once you're dead, somebody is going to get your organs for free. You wouldn't want that, would you? |
I am concerned about one part of your posting FF, You say that the wealthy would likely pay good hard cash for ones 'extra bits'', which is their right. But if you combine the freeloading, crack addled, welfare living ''citizens'' with obama yomammas free healthcare socialist ideals you are headed for big problems. Imagine if they decide to sell both kidneys for what $10,000 each.Once they find out about this great deal how many will jump at this big payday .
Then the socialist demonocrats pay to keep the ''donors'' alive with the best healthcare our country has to offer. What would daily dialysis cost, maybe $1000 a day or $365,000 a year and that is per patient.
I would be the last person to suggest government regulation on how a businessman makes his money there should be some way to regulate the ''donors''. Maybe it could be along the lines of donors from a certain socio-economic status or illegal aliens. Illegal Aliens should be allowed to ''donate'' but they should be deported right after the ''donation''. This being an opportune time to deport them as they just got a $20.000 paycheck and could afford 1st class seats if no other seats are available on the 1st flight out.
