Selling Yourself

Stimulating the economy is on every persons mind. Every stimulus package has failed. Getting money into the consumers hands is the big problem. The government is running out of ideas. But there is a natural resource that is being overlooked. Millions of body parts can be sold and converted to cash. This would put billions of dollars into the hands of donors and jump start the economy. Selling a piece of the body is a morbid way of making money; and it is outlawed in the U.S. The sale of body parts also has provoked fear in many donors because many have multiple parts to offer. But the government can get involved by encouraging fearful donors to let the parts go and fill their wallets with cash. A human cornea sells for as much as 10,000 bucks and a kidney for a little less. People in ill health are happy to pay the price. The exchange of body parts is best done on a personal level. The donor and the one that is receiving the body part should remain in touch with one another for the rest of their lives. There is no better way of establishing a real life connection.
