I want to sell my kidney. Why the fuck aren't I allowed to do it legally?
[–] LazarusLong ago
Well, you can definitely go into your bathroom and cut the fucker out yourself, no one can stop you.
If you want to sell the thing privately after that, that's between you and whoever wants to buy it.
If there is some law in place where you live which prevents such actions, I would say the law is immoral by violating body autonomy and pretty much unenforceable.
Now, getting a government certified professional to take it out for you and selling it through government regulated channels is a different story.
If I was on a medical board I'd be hesitant to endorse elective kidney donations for profit.

That's the thing, I can cut it myself but its illegal to sell it to anyone who buys it. If let's say, I d want to sell my own kidney and the buyer d cover the cost of surgery and pay me the price its still illegal to do it for profit. The same way I can donate blood but I can't sell it. Its riddicouls. Its my fucking kidney and my fucking blood, why d I donate it?
I d consider selling for the appropriate price.
