This concept is currently in play as an idea in the UK. We’re next.
STUDENTS should be able to sell their kidneys for tens of thousands of pounds to pay off university debts, according to a Scots academic.
Sue Rabbitt Roff believes making it legal to sell the body part would boost the number of organs available to save lives and help students struggling with money.
And then there is this website promoting the idea (could be a hoax, but funny).
It would be better for the university to cut it costs by getting rid of all its medical sociologists.
They can then sell their body parts to make a living.
Everyone makes money from organ donations except the donor.
@ #18,
Dam you. You made a tear roll out my right eye.
Sorry for your Dad. He was a brave fellow. You should be proud of him. Selfless people are hard to come by today.
Until every living person has a health care professional assigned to him/her 24 hours a day, health care will always be “rationed.” It’s a scare word, a way to spread panic and FUD.
Finally! The republicans have found a way to eliminate those pesky little people and bring health care costs down!
Next – find a way to re-institute slavery and get direct handouts from the government.
…No wait, they ALREADY get direct government handouts.
Remember the tea party cry – “Git yer damn guvermint hands off my medicare!!!”
Truly, our children are our most precious resource!

Too bad you are missing out on Obamacare (which the Republican leadership has absolutely no intention of getting rid of)! Under it, you could get free end-of-life counseling and they can make it quick and painless! Also, they will be able to check you for excessive grumpiness and being overly critical of the government – sure-fire signs that you’ve hung on too long!
By eliminating the expensive and ultimately futile medical procedures that many Americans have gotten towards the end of their lives, the US government will be able to have a medical system that produces surpluses that can go to bank bail-outs and kinetic military operations around the globe!
By encouraging the elderly to make socially responsible end-of-life choices, Obamacare will also completely relieve the financial burden on the Social Security system!
So WE do have a glorious future as we proudly show our solidarity in the ranks of the MARCH of FASCISM!
#27, I’m sure whether I should laugh or cry at that.
What’s next..
“Participate in the Running Man competition and/or Gladiatorial Matches to the death, and your student loans will be forgiven! All proceeds and organs belong to the Rich Person Organ Transplant Association. Thank you for dying.. er we mean playing!”
Bleh.
