People PAY to donate their living organs? (business, range, sell)

[bs13690]

My wife loves the Suze Orman show and watches it incessantly. During her "Can I Afford It" segment, I learned that some people pay to doante their organs.

What the hell kind of sense does that make? I could see if you are donating your kidney to a poor relative but why would you pay money to donate an organ to a stranger? In third world countries they pay YOU for your organs.

Yep, I was surprised as well.

I guess nothing is free in this health care system we got.

First, my condolences re: your wife watching Suze, aka mania untreated, mania unchained.

Second, I think it's time I made a career change. And I thought I was in a good business, selling water and rocks to people!
