Dont know if this is a Verboten subject? but, anyone here donate an organ for $$$?

I have the same understanding as Rule3, not legal. You can give it away, but not get paid for it. What should the tax rate be on for profit organ donation?

I do not think they pay for blood anymore. I believe AIDS ended that practice. People donate blood not sell it.

I wish they would outlaw prescription drug advertising. Too many people trying to make big bucks from others' illnesses, instead of trying to help them get better.

That's what I figured. Also, they do pay a doner to give Plasma-the actual blood is returned to you. I cant donate because I have rolling veins. Around here, people can make an extra $300 a month.

Ringo--we have some local politicans that obviously sold their brains for organ transplants, I will ask around and find out what they got for them.

Heh heh, that's the best one ive heard in awhile--and fully agree.

I am listed as a organ donor on my Drivers License if any of them are good when I finally go, So hopefully something can help someone. Most of them are still pretty good shape,

As I mentioned I could give a kidney to a family member if compatible.

Same here, im a donor. If I ever end up stuck in bed? if no improvemnt after 2 weeks--they are to pull the plug.

Sort of like the old joke that ends with "...Do you know how many (insert whoever you are trying to insult) we have to kill to get a pound of brains? "
