eBay blocks kidney auction
Published September 20th, 2005
Internet auction site eBay has cancelled the sale of a human
kidney after it attracted bids up to $US800,000 ($1.05 million) in
just a single day.
The kidney was being sold by a 54-year-old US citizen from
Missoula in Montana who wanted to use the proceeds to support his
family.
The internet site does not permit the sale of human organs and
the auction was deleted as soon as it came to the notice of eBay
management, the company said.
