What's the point of having a fresh new liver if you can't test it by getting blind drunk and going for a drive?

What a classy fellow... Destroyed his liver by age 32? People are truly amazing.

That definitely shows this guy has a serious problem. The sad part is the waste of scarce medical resources used to save his apparently worthless life.

The problem is the fact that it is illegal to sell your own organs!  According to Wired, the black market price of a liver is $100,000.  Since livers regenerate, and you can donate half of a liver, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to help with a downpayment on a house
