Why is it illegal to sell your kidneys?

Answer 1

In the US, I do not believe that it is 'illegal,' per se, to sell your kidney. However it is legally and ethically unlawful for anyone to harvest a healthy kidney from your body for a "for profit" SALE to another party. This, of course, excludes the donation of a kidney to a loved one or, as an act of charity, a recepient specified by the kidney donor.

Answer 2

No where. Please dont ask such question.

Actually Iran is the only country that has a government regulated kidney trade. Simple search online will provide you the information you need.

Answer 3

In the US, yes it is. The same is true in most other countries, though there are a few, such as Iran, where the sale of kidneys is permitted.

(I assume you're talking about human kidneys for transplantation, as opposed to, say, beef kidneys to be eaten. You can sell all of those you want.)

Answer 4

Actually it’s very illegal as per the 1984 law for Organ transplant. Take 30 seconds and search the net.

Answer 5

Fear of exploitation.
