Sell Your Organs Today

I normally ignore spam, but this one had a funny title - Sell Your Organs Today

I'm interested, so I read. Turns out this guy didn't want my organs, he wanted my kid's lungs. And if I wasn't interested in selling their lungs, he would take kiddy porn. I've pasted the mail below and highlighted it yellow.

Besides the disturbed feeling I experienced after reading the spam, a thought did cross my mind. Why is it illegal for me to sell my organs? What if I wanted to sell a kidney. I believe that kidney transplants are in the most demand. I have two kidneys, I ought to be able to sell one of them if I choose.

It is not unusual to live life with one kidney. It ought to be my choice, as to whether or not I sell my kidneys. Moving kidneys to the open market would certainly lessen the demand to some extent. Would it be the end of kidney waiting lists, well no. But it would help.
