selling your body for medical research - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

rbozz · 02-18-2006, 12:09 AM

I would like to get a source of income and move out of my home. Does anyone know anything about earning money by selling your body for science after you die? Im not sure if it is legal. I would be interested if it is, or in any other type of way to get money by singning up for medical research. If anyone has any knowledge about this kind of thing I would be interested in what you know.

rbozz, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to sell your body for research. One can donate it, though.
The question is, though, are you ready to be rid of your body that soon?

Shalom!

Don't know about "selling"...I think it's a donation in this state.
I have heard on the news recently about women selling their eggs, for a few K...but sounds rather painful and if you want to be a surrogate mom I think there's even more money to be made....

One of my best friends sold her eggs. I went to the initial apt. with her, it's creepy... No way would I do it. and it's very painful...

She was in a wheelchair right after the final apt.

I am donating my body to science, or my organs anyway.....

But it's illegal to sell where I know about.

You can check out places like CC Clinical Trials, but be careful about what your doing......

I'd check the classifieds for jobs first. CC C.T. can be good if there's something that your really struggling with..... Just be careful.

I apologize for not catching the intro, but what about a job?

Even if you could sell your body, the chance of it being enough to live on until you died would be zero.
