Before the govt here banned it, your aunt could have gotten a kidney from an exact match donor for less than $2K. The real expense ($23K) is from the hospital and the doctor. Such deals got banned cuz the government wanted to "protect" paid donors. Maybe they should have focused instead on having the donors get paid better and get better after procedure health services and monitoring. Would have gone a long way in alleviating poverty and bringing in much needed capital. Oh well. The funny politics of "pride" has to win the day I guess.
