Healthy Kidney for Sale. RUSH!
Kidney for Sale. RUSH! Hello. I am a 34 year old male from Manila, Philippines (ASIA). I am selling one of my kidneys to pay for a medical and financial debt. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker. I am NOT into drugs. Im a clean living lifestyle person. Healthy, no operations in the past, no medical condition. Blood type AB+. THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR SCAM. NEED SERIOUS PEOPLE FOR THIS.
You’re right, you are not browsing ebay here. I saw this ad, it’s true this guy is selling his kidney. Sadly, many Filipinos are doing this in exchange for money. Years ago, we heard this news that many of our Kababayans sprouted out like mushrooms rushing to sell their kidneys. An average of Php50,000-120,000 each. To the man who doesn’t know anything, that’s a fortune! Big money! But they do not know what they’re giving up. Today, they may enjoy the money while they’re young, but in the future, let’s say 20-30 years from now, i bet they’ll regret their decision.
This year, in a recent study of the University of the Philippines, there were 3,000 men and women who had sold their kidneys. Which was found in a slum area in Metro Manila.
I want to share with you this story,
Marlene Maico was only two years old at the time. Then she fell sick. Very sick - with several diseases at the same time. Her life could only be saved if she was treated properly at a hospital.
But I had no money, says the father, 31-year-old Satur Maico. The family lived in a shanty in Bagong Lupa, a large slum area close to the harbor in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines.
Garbage and sewage are floating below the shanties. There is visible damage after a typhoon hit a few months earlier, in which many of the families lost their homes. For many people it is a depressing life. There is no work. At least not every day. And when they get something to do, residents say, pay is a meager 3 to 6 dollars.
In this neighborhood a desparate Maico helplessly watched his daughter on the brink of death. Finally he chose what he considered to be his only alternative: He accepted that one of his two kidneys was removed from the body and transplanted into a man who was willing to pay.
I received 70.000 pesos for my kidney. That is the smallest amount anyone has been paid in this area. But I was desperate and did not have much to negotiate with.
Thus the daughter, who now is six years old, was admitted to hospital. The father could afford the 15.000 pesos fee. And she survived.
Today a long scar at the right side of his body bear witness of Maico’s sacrifice for his daughter. And at least 150 other men have the same scar in this slum area.
In the Philippines anyone donates their kidneys out of sympathy. Instead agonizing poverty and human misery are the encouraging forces behind their acceptance. This is terrible. Instead of donating human organs to family and love ones, one should suffer to alleviate their lives.
How about you? Are you going to sell your kidney or donate it to your family?

sadly, this is another face of present-day philippine society. people driven to extreme, selling body parts just to make ends meet. I do not support this though. I think the authorities should crack down on this just like other illegal trades.

The fact na hindi ko pa sure kung ok na ang atay ko, parang hindi ko pa maaatim na ibenta ang kidney ko. If ever I would, I don’t think it would pass the standards of a prospective buyer. I am a smoker, a drinker, and junkfood junkie, hehehe pwede ba yon?

Donate to a family member yes. But never na ibibinta ko to para lang makaahon sandali sa kahirapan. Pero hanga ako sa ginawa ni Satur Maico, ibininta niya kidney niya to save the life of his daughter.
Related to this matter, may mga brutal na pangyayaring nagaganap sa Russia. Maraming mga homeless ang dinudukot at kinakatay at inalisan ng organs like heart, kidney, lungs at retina. Rusyan mafya ang may kagagawan nito, at ang mga organs na nakukuha nila ay ibibinta nila sa labas. Top purchaser is U.S kasunod ang Europe.
Mas masaklap di ba?

I also saw this from a local news, about kidney selling in our country. They said this will be ‘legalized’ by a special organization to minimize the after effect (they fall ill themselves) it usually bring to a donor, and to make sure they get the fair price for it. Also said that this will be done via hospitals that are taking part. I just don’t know if this is already implemented.
If it’s the last resort and my kidney is still okay, I will donate it. I also want them to harvest my organs and put them into good use once I’m gone.
Hi Ambo. Have a good weekend!

Monaco,
One problem on this issue i think is the growing number of recruiters. They find, not donors but sellers of kidneys.

Mommy Beng,
Hanga din naman ako sa ginawa ni Satur. Siempre nga naman, anak mo na ang nasa bingit ng kamatayan. About sa Russia, nakakatakot naman yang balita mo, mas worst nga kasi pinapatay pa nila. At least dito, bayad ka. hehehe

Hi Thess,
According to DOH, “there is nothing illegal in donating kidneys especially if coursed through the government or for as long as it is not being commercialized. If it is for sale, then it is illegal.” They also launched a program called “Buhay Mo, Karugtong Ng Buhay Ko” spearheaded by the National Kidney and Transplant Institute. It’s already up and running.

It’s true. Sometimes mahirap husgahan ang ilang tao. Sakripisyo man, this is much better than doing evil.

sadly, that is the state of affairs sa mga dukha sa pinas. ang hirap nang halukayin kung saan nga ba problema; kahirapan, kawalan ng pondo sa kalusugan, kawalan ng trabaho, ewan ko. pero kahit na pagbali-baliktarin ko, laging kasama yung kahirapan. kung pwede nga lang gawing mayaman lahat, kaso mo pag mayaman na lahat, hindi na sila mayaman nun, average na lang.
sana lang i-regulate man lang, ksi kelangan naman nung ibang tao talaga ang kidneys, ngayon kung gusto ibenta nung walang pera, dapat di lang barya-barya, dapat me kakabit ding medical insurance at least para maprotektahan yung nag-donate.
ala ay yun naman po ay akin laang agam-agam.
