Sell your kidney for $47k...

Ali, a person can function just fine with one kidney.

My Sister had been functioning on part of an diseased one for a good 15 years (they gave her 8 years when diagnosed and she didnt even get to dialysis stage before the transplant was done).

My Mums problems are more to do with the scars that the surgery left, than the loss of a kidney.

This is why it was suggested that healthy people be able to donate a kidney...its something that we can do without.
