...to sell your liver!
would you do this?
why not?

**squilverine**

No.

my liver is only worth about 50p, and thats only for the alcohol they could squeeze out of it.

However for £1 Million I would be prepared to club someone else over the head and sell their liver

**Roze**

Erm.....NO. you would be dead, what's a dead person going to do with a million quid? Sweet FA thats what.

**Orkeosaurus**

Yeah, my liver is kind of important to me.

Maybe a kidney?

**Gitzbitah**

No takers so far. Looks like you'll have to start looking into the oriental organ thieves market for a new liver, lord of the ghosts. Remember to order in bulk, just in case they send the wrong blood type.

**Orkeosaurus**

Blood types are an urban legend.

**gorgon**

Without your liver, you die. So you might as well be asking "would you sell your brain for a million dollars?"

Seriously, has Dakka had a content transplant with Warseer?

**Pipboy101**

Even though I stopped drinking in 1998 I did enough damage that is still not right even now. My organs were bouys on a sea of gin before 98.

IIRC you survive without a liver, but you'll be sick in bed every second week coz your body doesnt have enough resistance against bacterias n stuff i think..

**Orkeosaurus**

I think you can survive for a while, but the toxins build up and then you're dead.

**glory**

I suppose there might be some way to keep cleaning up your blood with a machine, but I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life in the hospital. What would I do with the money, sleep on it?

As a living donor, you can donate part(up to half, IIRC) of your liver, as the liver is the only organ(outside of skin) capable of properly regenerating itself.

**Clthomps**

I would sell half my liver now for 500,000 and give you the other half for the remaining 500,000 in a couple years.

So do we have a deal?

**Orkeosaurus**

It's just not the same without the death.

**Axyl**

Yeaaa...I don't think so unless you managed to somehow replace it with some sort of artificial liver. Although then the question arises that if they have an artificial liver...what do they need mine for?

he has a plan!!

**garret**

Me i could always buy a new one.

**person person**

If there is such thing as an artificial liver it'd pobably cost...alot. So no.

**Wrexasaur**

If you offered me that for a liver... well... honestly though, I would have to offer you a baby. Mainly due to the fact that I have no direct access to livers.

The fact that they have lobster costumes, HAS to count for something...

**Orlanth**

I think its possible to have some takers for the whole liver, from piss poor countries with families, but you will need to throw in further sweeteners like visas for the relatives, set up the family so it can spend the money.

The question still remains who gets to 'pay'.

3 big macs

**OverbossGhurzubMoga**

I would counter with 2 Big Macs and an Oreo blizzard from Dairy Queen.

I got a job At dairy queen.

**OverbossGhurzubMoga**

I'm sorry Garret. I worked at one in high school, in the kitchen. Unfortunately, the manager was a complete idiot and still to this day doesn't know what she's doing. The only reason she is still there, is that she has partial ownership of the store.

I am sorry for you man. Keep looking for a better job. Trust me.

**Orkeosaurus**

I just ate three double cheeseburgers at Burger King, and they only cost a dollar each.

It was pretty much the greatest thing ever.

(The fries were kind of stale though.)

**lord of the ghosts**

please keep this theard on topic, please

**Orkeosaurus**

If I eat enough double cheeseburgers, I'll probably need a new liver.

**lord of the ghosts**

thank you for keeping it liver-related
