If it saved a life I would, but I would only do it for free. My sister-in-law has had 2 kidney transplants, the first failed, and the second was donated by her sister. She now lives a dialysis free life.

I do not agree with selling organs but it would help with reducing the amount of patients waiting for organs. If it was to become legal in the UK then it would have to be tightly regulated with health checks on the donor before organs could be harvested. This needs open debate as I can see the benefits but would hope for very tight regulation on who can donate - question of being paid is unethical - we don’t get paid for blood donations so why should we get paid for organ donation?

Against.
Trading of body-parts ( blood, tissue, organs ) is contrary to Gods law of ethics.
Sharing of DNA is a sin in his eyes & who am I to challenge God?

I’d rather die than buy a kidney. I really couldn’t live the rest of my life having done that.

yes, I’ll accept kidney failure, and the fact it’s illegal for a very good reason.

Whilst it’s illegal, against.
If it were legal then it’d perhaps mean there are
more kidneys as donors would increase due to cash rewards buy would that mean donors who gave without cash reward would decrease? Therefore those without money would struggle to get one.

I wouldn’t buy one as I know I’ll get one for free.However,if I had only months to live and I had the cash I might consider buying it,its not as if its being ripped out of a poor Indian person and sold for peanuts.

It could lead to problems but it is their body so they should be able to sell their own parts if they want to.

25,000 pounds would not be nearly enough for me. You can’t afford dialysis with that.
