No, that's not what I meant at all. The doctor's getting paid. The hospital's getting paid. Why shouldn't the donor get paid?

Knowing what I know now, with zero functioning kidneys and needing one so I don't hook up to a machine for 10 hours every night; tethered to within 12 feet of wherever I place my dialysis machine; losing any semblance of a social life, because in order to be at work at a reasonable hour, I have to hook up at 7:30 every night; visiting doctors every other week; the monthly blood work and quarterly urinalysis; the anxiety every time you get a cold, because those are some of the same symptoms of peritonitis, which could kill me; the periodic hospital visit just because shit's not working right, and multitude of other complications that come from losing kidney function; the hassle with any kind of overnight travel, including shipping or lugging 18L of dialysate solution for every night I'm gone, manual bags in case the machine breaks... I could go on.

I would if I could, BCT. I would if I could.

There is actually more to it than that as well.

A lot of the time when people are seeking a living donor, usually within the family but not always, they offer to recoup any income lost due to the procedure as the donor is going to miss many weeks of work as well.

It costs them nothing but a ****ING KIDNEY. If their other kidney later fails, do they get it back?

Yeah. But it would have to be somebody I cared about that much, and there aren't very many of them.

I was wondering what happens if your kidney has stones in it?

But the doctors and such are making a killing off of it. The recipient is possibly making a non killing off of it.


Why shouldn't the person who doenst have a dog in the fight not get something out of it? Especially since they might need a back up some day .

Selling becomes a bigger issue. There are places on this planet where selling organs is perfectly legal, and trafficking is a major problem.

Oh I understand. Totally.

But in your case I think it would help you tremendously

Is it legal to sell your own organs, those of a deceased person, or just random organs that you, um, find?

The second case is the most interesting to me. Is there a country where a relative dies and the family sells all of the organs as an inheritance? I'm genuinely curious.

I haven’t heard of that. More of a problem is people taking homeless people or people in dire straits financially and offering them a “cut” of the money they get.

I believe legalizing selling organs would become a bit of an ethically complicated mine field.

I did hear on a podcast a while back that one of the biggest markets for missing and exploited children in the middle east is the very rich sheikhs will pay people for these black market kids if they are a match to harvest their organs so their own sick children can get a transplant.

Disturbing to say the least.
