I can smell your filthy human organs.

The Human Tissue Bill proposes a regulating authority to make sure that consent is obtained before organs and tissues are kept by hospitals.

Aww. There go my Max Headroom-style visions of an apocalyptic future-UK where organ-snatching is rife.

In such a future, I would either be completely safe due to the pickled nature of my internals, or some kind of rare prize, seeing as I can't apparently be destroyed by conventional alcohol.

That said:

A father has put his kidney up for auction for at least £50,000 to pay for his sick daughter's medical treatment.

I know of 2 people barred form ebay for trying, one for trying to sell his soul, and one for trying to sell her pubic hair.
