So, if one were looking to sell a kidney, would one then google "black market organ brokers"?

Hypothetically, of course.....

I have one I'd sell, I don't need it. Wonder how much I'd get for it? Wonder if the owner would miss it?

That's just plain stupid, trading a kidney for an ipad. Now for a cabinet humigor...

Gee, won't he feel stupid when the iPad 3 comes out next week.

Seriously, though, I find it stupid that in this country, it's illegal to sell one of your organs, but you can donate it. If you can't sell it, you don't own it, right? So are they telling us our bodies don't belong to us? When you add to this silliness the fact that many folks die each week waiting for a kidney or other organ, the entire situation is stupid.
