Before long you’ll be able to discharge your debts by selling yourself into indentured servitude. A bit after that it will become obligatory.
The Left doesn’t support the “my body” argument here. Only for genital mutilation and infanticide.
This is exactly why I changed to a non donor: “Transplant surgeons make money. Transplant physicians make money. Hospitals, drug companies make money,” he points out. “Everybody can get paid except the person delivering the irreplaceable part!” Until they pay my family for my body parts I will not be a “donor”!
This government is so corrupt and sick to its core, I suspect they are more likely to mandate all organs automatically are available for transplant...unless you formally “opt-out.”
A: ‘Cuz, in the Land of the Free, you do not OWN your *self*, much less....anything else govt would love to have (damn A1S8, 5th, 13th alone)
>> ... I changed to a non donor ... money ...
I am alive today because of a donated liver.
You go right ahead and let them cut you to shreds and “harvest” your body parts. You have every right to do that. But, please don’t tell me to do the same. I can see it now, I’m laying on the operating table and the surgeon says, “look , this guy has led a good life and a few of his parts still work, let’s just let him expire with no extra effort to keep him alive until we can pick a few extra parts (like going to Pull A Part at the junk yard) for our next gig.
No thanks.
I’ll donate my Wurlitzer Sideman.
Can someone donate a Hammond B3 to me?
Forget the $$ payout issue. It comes from middlemen hoping for a payoff. Donated organs come from suicides and from the “Rice Rocket” riding idiots that race by you on the expressways. Thanks to despair and “testosterone poisoning”, donors are mostly males in their 20s and 30s.
Suicides commonly leave behind a “wife” (often common law) and 1-3 kids. That sets a lasting example for the little ones, all too often to be repeated in their adulthood. Nice, huh?
There’s a lot more care & expense involved in live donors vs dead. Who will pay for all of it? Insurance companies? The gov’t?
I’ll give someone a great deal on my enlarged prostate.
“Can someone donate a Hammond B3 to me?”
Beat me to it. As an aside there’s a Hammond office not far from me. I had occasion to go there once. Sitting there in all its glory was a perfect condition working Hammond B3.
“Don’t even ask.” I was told.

I think the smart seller would include all of that in the price. You buy my kidney, pay for the doctors, hospital, my medicine, recovery, missed work, etc.
Anyway, how much can you get for a kidney?
I mean, everyone has a price, no?
While I was never given his name, I have a letter of thanks from a gentleman who received my brother's heart after he was killed in an auto accident.
Several years ago I contacted the organ donor organization that handled it if they could allow me to contact the recipient to see how he is doing but they could not due to confidentiality laws.
I have relatives in the health care industry. You bet that goes through their minds. It's more along the lines of: "Hey, look at this self-centered worthless individual here. But, he has a good heart. Too bad that environmentalist down the hall who needs a transplant will probably die in a month. What do you think we should do about that?"
I know a guy who donated a kidney to his wife.
Same here. If I’m dead and stuff is still in good enough shape to be of use then it’s also likely my family could use anything they can get
Until then absolutely not
You made me LOL.
