where?

I've heard of it happening in South America. Over hear we have muti killings. I would be more worried about other things, I don't think its very common.

It's really not that uncommon in certain rural areas. You're pretty safe in Cape Town or Jozi or whatnot.

And yes, my first thought was also the band Kidneythieves

In a bid to tidy up its image, China recently said it would ban the sale of human organs by July

I wonder if you can sell your organs before you die? Or at least get a deposit.

I don't see why not. Although, I doubt they'd pay before they got them. The money will probably go into your estate.

Yeah, Moses is right - there's no guarantee your organs will be usable after death, say for example you die in an explosion and your liver or heart or kidneys, or whatever else you're selling is ripped to shreds, it would be of no use to the buyer - so upfront payment would be very risky.

they could always use your kidneys as a fullstop when they try and spell something out with another guys intestines.

No, kidneys are better used as commas...

it depends on how you place them? if they still have some gore on them then you can make a nice artistic red smear before placing it.

and that pretty much concludes my time in this thread...
