Can you sell your kidney in the US?

In the United States, it is illegal to buy or sell human organs for transplantation. In the National Organ Transplant Act, passed by the United States Congress and signed into law in 1984, it is stated that it is illegal to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human organ for valuable consideration for use in human transplantation. Violations of this law are punishable by fines or imprisonment. The organ transplant system is based on a system of organ donation and allocation that is designed to be equitable and fair, without financial incentives or coercion.
