Selling body parts is illegal, at least in the US of A it is. Something you might want to research before you go any further.\nI would suggest a fund raiser like you see in the convenience stores. You know the containers that say please help so and so for what ever reason. Check with your Bank for setting this up or check with some local churches.

There already is a market for body parts and the usual "organ grinders" unfortinatly few enforcement agentcys moniter these activities as many "Organ Procurement Agentcies" travel overseas and purchase parts from third world countries for low prices (approx $250.00usd for a kidney) and then resell them for prices in the thousands. It is a highly illegal and lucrative trade.\n\nTo legalize this is not a great idea as it would turn into a pricing war and with the illegal market already obtaining organs at low prices overseas the money to be made for people selling would be minimum at best.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband, but you seem to be doing all you can do right now with out killing yourself. I would suggest trying to borrow from a friend or family member. Sometimes we find that we have to sacrifice our most prized possesions in times of need, do you have anything you can sell worth value. I had too sell off my horses, that really hurt, but it was something we could live without.  Are you making payments on a car, if so you may want to try to work with refinancing or something to lower payments..  Good luck, things always work them selves out.. PHB

Ok dear friend, \nwhen you ask a charged question like "how do I sell my body to science and get paid for it now?", better get ready to face uncomfortable answers like the first answer you recieved from someone. So how will you feel if you loose one by one of your body parts, you no longer exist and who needs the money this way??. If you realy need help with money, there is a way to get help by helping others  by participating in volunteer programes, \n\n                 read below..........\n\nFirst of all, you cannot sell your body for science or as a matter of fact to medicine as it is illegal and fraudulent. However, you can participate as volunteer in certain clinical tests, trials and tasks for which you will be paid or compensated. All the above, it is a very nobel act to get involved as a volunteer in research studies as it will help some patients immediately or it will be useful to someone, somewhere further down the road. In retrospect, you will learn lot more about your body and its conditions without paying for it.\n\nIf you live close by medical centers or medical schools and human research centers, you can find opportunities in notice borads for volunteers request with contact phone numbers and e-mails.\n\nIf you have any health problems, you may not be qualified, if you are certain age and you must check for age, smoking and drinking conditions to qualify in any research tests. \n\nSo, there is no body selling in science. On the other hand, you can sign organ donor programe that will be effective after your death, again this is for another nobel cause and you will not be paid for organ donor, not now or not after your death. It is left to you to participate or not!!??. \n\nIf you know that someone is selling body parts or buying it, you should report to concerned authorities, it is extremely dangerous and illegal practice and it is a crime subjected to punishment.

Say you have a sick child and you need money for a million dollar surgery.

Don't forget to engage your local churches, you might be able to get them to enlist their congregation to accept offerings in the name of your project or more specifically to the family of choice but you will need to make a plea to them.\nBake sales are always good to make money with too.

no.....\nI can tell ya I have seen some other issues here if its not documented right. you can't sale the house or get loan unless if you all agrees. What if someone got sick, mentally disabled, or missing and family  needs money?\n\nBesides house, U might have other personal properties, car, bank balance, investments, 401K, life insurance(which generally has named beneficiary)\nI think u need to consult a lawyer in your state. it will cost u few hundred $$.\n\n.... just came something in mind. By doing this you are giving away control of your wealth to them. And may be for IRS it consider as gift and it may be subject to tax.

Sometimes peoples willingness to help might surprise you, specially around the christmas season, but you gotta realize also that people are very untrusting nowadays, I would say to raffle rather cheap items and state that the proceeds will go to this family in need. Try to contact the media, or your local radio stations, they migth be willing to help. Hope i was of some help, Really wish you the best, i hope you do get to help out this family

It is hard to come up with that money, I can tell by your writing that you need it.  Where I live the Salvation Army would help with that.\n\nI am not sure they would pay the entire amount though.  Do you have something that you can sell, or a service to perform?\n\nI said a prayer for you, there have been times in my life, where I have been in the same situation, and blind faith and prayer rescued the day.\n\nGood luck,\n\nDave

How kind you are. Your charitable heart is a blessing to those around you. You can submit this family's name to the various charitable organizations in your area. Do you work? Perhaps you could suggest your office adopt this family. Taking on the burden yourself is generous but don't deny others the blessings of an opportunity to serve. You don't mention why the family is in their particular situation but you could round up a list of names and phone numbers of organizations that help people who need it. There are many organizations that help people find work, get their education, get the health care they need, etc. It's possible that this family doesn't know where to go to get help. Teaching a person to fish is a wonderful gift and just as generous, if not more so, than feeding them once or twice.

I'd pay off my moms home both my parents are in poor health-mom has cancer and dad has both a heart condition and diabetes. Then I'd help my sister(42) who had her first child and some medical issues due to a car accident . I'm sure she would love to take it easy and take some time with her son. As for the next thing I would help my fiance start a small non profit martial arts business- he was born with CP and is a SIFU (martial arts instructor) . His dream is to help others and I guess mine is to help him see it through.\n\nSorry I couldn't pick 1 thing!!

How about all of this 'organ stealing' stuff, and cadavar theft?\nThere are too many 'good' reasons not to do it..I just think they should pay you, in advance, for the organ you will donate when you pass on. Seems logical and a good way to keep the organs coming...then again, if you paid someone for a liver and they became an alcoholic....

tithing, pay off my student loan and other debts, buy a handicapped equipped home and vehicle I can drive, put money in a trust for my nephew (we have no kids), give money to a few charities and a few local community service groups so they can continue to help others... and take care of my family and my husband and me...
