I have college loans to pay off, and am currently considering any offers made on my kidneys.

That is just horrible.  Disgusting, sad.  So very sad.

Ya know, $20,000 is just not enough for a kidney.  There are numerous long term considerations and downsides of only having one kidney.  Maybe for $20 million I'd do it. 

But yeah, it's illegal for very good reasons.

Really, really disturbing. I've had 2 kidney transplants, and I believe living donors are heroes. These guys are just whores.
