Monday's Morals

A wealthy friend approaches you with a serious offer: he needs a kidney transplant, but doesn’t want to wait his turn on a long donor list with a long period of painful dialysis. He offers to pay you ten times the total of every dollar you currently owe if you’ll give him your kidney, and promises that no one will ever know about your transaction, because buying organs is illegal. Assuming that he is a close friend and that his offer is genuine, would you give him the kidney, and would you take his money for doing so?

No.
Had this wealthy friend approached me as a friend and without mentioning money, I probably would have, though.
