Upon reading this story I gave my kidneys a hug and thanked them for not giving renal failure.

Other than that... hellllll no

One can be born with a single kidney and not even know it

Liver cells have an extremely long turn-over rate (i think they take decades) so no, that would be as bad as killing brain cells

I rather pull a robbery and risk going to jail for 1-2 yrs, than trading my organ for an electronic device which will be worth nothing in 2 yrs

This reminds me of one of the Southpark episode where Cartman buys an Ipad.
