Nick Cannon wants you to delete this post.

Also you can buy and sell kidneys in Iran legally.

Not in the US! I wish it was legal here.

I didnt say in the US and neither did the post. There is a legal option.

Edit: technically you could do it here if you find the right black market, so you can just not legally.

There isn't a (life saving) organ you can donate that wouldn't put you at least somewhat at risk - kidney, liver segment, etc. Organ donors have to undergo a ton of evaluation to make sure they're donating for the right reasons and will be capable of dealing with the possible outcomes. Incentivising that with money would be a bad idea because people who shouldn't donate would offer themselves up.

You CAN, however, make bank on hair, plasma, eggs, bone marrow, and plenty more.
