6. Of course individuals are not allowed to "sell" parts,

but there are HUGE sums of money changing hands.. My friend donated her son's organs for transplantaion when he was killed in a car accident..His organs helped 6 people..heart kidneys, liver, corneas.. She had to borrow money to pay for a decent funeral for him, and is still paying it off, 3 years afterwards..

I don;t think people should be able to "sell" the body of a loved one, but I think the organ donation places that are raking in money, should pay for the funeral.. That;s the least they could do..
