Found a guy online selling kidney in Montana

[paddbear0000]

Yes, I'm back, but I'll explain things in a different post later! I just came across something online that has me absolutely enraged and I had to tell people.

I had done a search for kidney related Twitter pages a few minutes ago, and came across a page by Kidney_For_Sale!! He had a link posted to a Myspace page where he is doing the same thing. The Myspace page says he lives in Montana here in the US. He states he wants to sell his kidney because he and his wife are broke from all of the medical bills from her MS.

I have already contacted the FBI, as well as Myspace, Facebook and Twitter. These are his sites:

I'm sorry I reappeared in such an abrupt way! I've been meaning to get back on, but have been unbelievably busy lately.

Hi Janet! Good to see you. 
I'm glad you reported him.

Don't apologise for coming back 'abruptly' it's really great to see you back 
The only good thing I can say about this man is that he made you come back and post here so he's not all bad

If it were legal to buy and sell kidneys it would or could be a win win for many people.  Im sure many here would buy one if they had the money and a match was available.  I mean many of the people who want to sell a body part may have no desire to donate it at death if it cant benefit them while there alive.

Just being devils advocate and a little realistic. 
If your uncle was going to loose his house over owing $10,000.  And his kidney was a match would it be bad to give him the money to save his home and make you well in the process.

 sounds like he is selling it out of necessity more then greed.

Selling kidneys is abhorrent and it's absolutely right that it should be illegal.

If it were legal I would expect people in debt to come under pressure to sell a kidney to clear their debt.

Padbear is 100% right to bring this to the notice of the authorities.

We'd also have a much bigger problem with people killing people and taking their organs.. never want to make something like that legal - people do crazy things when desperate.

Like trying to sell a kidney in a desperate situation to support their families.  I don't agree with it, but I certainly understand it.  And if my life was really threatened and I desperately needed a transplant I wouldn't die wondering. Forget the moral obligation, I would do anything just to live - even buy a kidney.  And I think many, although they wouldn't admit it, would do the same thing if their lives were really threatened.  As you say, people do crazy things when they are desperate.
