that's a pretty dumb question
if you had 1 mil+
and you needed a kidney to live
you'd pay 1 mil+ unless you were highly unusual

But the long term cost outweight what you get from them usually. Now if you sell someone elses... i'm almost certain you would get closer to/more than a mil a guy tried to sell his kidney on ebay and the bidding was over a mil when the auction was yanked Not many people would spend that much on an organ. But I was going by the prices from an article I read awhile back. It's fairly common in some asian countries since it's actually legal

A kidney in a hospital sells for roughly 3000 dollars, why would anyone pay 333x that much?

If i had a million dollars i'm pretty sure my awesome medical coverage would allow me to be high on the doner list without having to pay a full mil..... hence the question. I didn't think it was stupid

i'm pretty certain it doesn't work that way
there are not as many free kidneys as people who need extra kidneys

you don't walk into a hospital and slap down 3000 bucks for a kidney
you wait for one while on dialysis for years and likely die while waiting

if i had to guess
i'd say that if i had 5 mil to spend, i'd buy the "premium" kidney the guy advertised
as he said he had had it tested and could provide proof of its function
as opposed to a kidney from a starving female living in the slums a third world country
if G.I. Bill sev needed a kidney
he'd probably take the third world country route
though i imagine arranging the deal from a hospital bed while on dialysis could present some hurdles

Organ selling is prohibited by international law, so, as with a lot of black markets, i'd imagine the quality varies
it also carries the risk of arrest, which, don't get me wrong, i'd certainly take if my life was on the line
http://reason.com/archives/2003/12/17/is-organ-bootlegging-inevitabl
also, from what i'm seeing, even buying a kidney this way is in the 100kish range
the 7500 figure appears to be what the donor is paid for the organ, not what the recipient pays for the entire operation after the middlemen and doctors have been paid
interesting reading though, that's to be sure

If you read it can be less. Like on chick was supposed to sell. "She says typically the recipient will pay about $1,300 for a kidney. Of that, $1,000 is promised to the donor, though many times they only receive half. The rest is divided between the broker and the doctors. "

i think this is where your quality would vary
i most certainly would not want my kidney installed by a doctor who was splitting 300 bucks with a kidney broker
i don't think those would be "highly trained doctors with modern equipment"

Find a level 40 sync and go Ranguemont pass. Constant Dark/Ice weather there and easy kills, 4 slimes there which repop pretty quickly, have to move between 2 spots using sneak or unsyncing, but thats not a bad price to pay for constant weather, i just finished that trial

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
