Guys complain about girls ‘hoeing’ around, when guys cause the girls to be hoes… If there were no guys in this world, no girl will be a hoe. nuff said. 

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Times are tough. Another cliche about economic scarcity would fit well here, but I digress. I would totally sell an organ for the right price. I think that’s a commodity that everyone should try to utilize.  

And I’m not proposing you sell a lung. Just a kidney. Think about it, you have two of them and you can easily survive with just one. But some people don’t have either. And they don’t have any relatives with a similar blood type. And they have a lot of money. And the organ waiting list is three miles long. And hooking yourself up to a kidney dialysis machine a few times a week for three to five hours a day is a horrible way to live. And the chances of survival without dialysis or a functioning kidney are slim to nil.

That is my ideal customer for selling a kidney.

The only question now is what price? What price would you sell somebody a piece if yourself? A piece that would save their life?

I’m thinking $20,000 would make a good starting point. That seems fair. I mean, it’s a kidney, not a lung. It isn’t a stomach. It’s not your heart. It’s not exactly a crucial organ, you have a spare one. But then again, your customer doesn’t have a spare. They need one pretty damn badly.

Keeping those market implications in mind, I’m going to have to raise my potential kidney sales price starting point to $50,000. The market is very limited and the demand is very grave. Plus, you know, we are talking about major surgery here. It’s going to be at least three days in the hospital. It’s not a particularly dangerous surgery, but there’s always the chance the anesthesiologist could make an error and you could die on the operating table. Even if the surgery goes swimmingly, you’re still left with only one kidney. Your security net would be gone and it might be you hooked up to the dialysis machine one day.

Maybe I could run some sort of black market auction for it.

I might be able to fetch a better price there.
