I just gave mine away-I'm cheap I suppose!
But seriously this is being looked at as an option....I say why not?

You're not cheap, you're caring and generous. Don't even joke about it!
I hate the idea of selling organs - but I also hate the idea of selling blood. Goes in the same emotional bucket as slavery, money-to-adopt and prostitution for me. Some things just need to be given and shared with respect, love, compassion, whatever, not bought and sold. But that's just my point of view; doesn't make it right.

While I agree with you, that's not the way a lot of people see it. Many people want to be compensated for giving a part of themselves to someone else. I think organ donation is a very personal decision-both living organ donation and cadaver donation and I would never force my values or beliefs about it on anyone else. With that being said-had I not been a tissue match-and had we not been able to find a family member, and no cadaver donor-I would have been willing to someone to give my loved one a kidney so I think it should at least be an option.

As I said, it's just my point of view, but that doesn't make it right. I'm listed as an organ donor, I'm on the international marrow donors register, I give blood regularly, and I couldn't accept money to do any of those things, just like I couldn't take money to have sex with someone. But that's me, and I respect that other people see it differently.
