Notes on Kidney

Dear Rachel,
About three years ago I had almost total kidney failure, a most unpleasant experience.Unless you have to do this for a family member or partner it seems unnecessary. In any case there would need to be a tissue match. There is always a chance of infection even in the very best hospitals.
In many countries organs like kidneys are sold. But not in UK. thank God.
Other organs are prohibitively expensive, like a kidney. That little sucker costs $262,000 in the US (other countries have it for cheaper)! Here's the full list of body parts and their cost:
Pair of Eyeballs: $1,525
Scalp: $607
Skull with Teeth: $1,200
Shoulder: $500
Coronary Artery: $1,525
Heart: $119,000
Liver: $157,000
Hand and Forearm: $385
Pint of Blood: $337
Spleen: $508
Stomach: $508
Small Intestine: $2,519
Kidney: $262,000
Gallbladder: $1,219
Skin: $10 per square inch
Please : Don't even think about it Eric x

Rachel, please takes Eric's advice. Do not be taken in by anyone on this site who offers to take advantage of you and certainly do not give your email address to anyone either.
