Selling your Body

If you thought this was about prostitution, perhaps you should conider a "renting your body" post instead.

Selling your body is a way shadowrunners can make a little money on the side getting rid of those extra organs. For particularly viscious shadowrunners, perhaps they can use this as a market for organs they just happened to "find". All such body parts have a street index of .75

Selling Blood/Plasma:
A person can sell a number of "blood units" equal to his body modifier in a month. Each unit sold decreases his body for 1 during that month, and provides $500. Treat this as availability 4 for purpose of the sales skill.

Selling Sperm/Eggs:
A person can sell eggs or sperm. Selling sperm can provide $100 and be done once per week by fertile males. Treat this as availability 1. Sperm cannot be sold from a dead body.

Eggs can be sold as well. Each fertile female should have a total of about 1d6 egg units they can sell during their lifetime for about $1000 each. They may only undergo the operation once, but may sell any number of eggs during that time. Treat this as availability 4. Eggs cannot be sold from a dead body. Egg units represent how multiple eggs are sold at once.

Marrow:
A painful procedure, but bone marrow donations can help many people dying from cancer or who have trouble pronouncing the "T" in Planetarium. Any month where marrow is donated the donator gets +1 tn penalties to all rolls, as if they had a permanent light wound. They can get $1000 for such a sale, with availability of 8.

Duplicate Body Parts:
Sometimes you can sell one of those organs you happen to have two of. Each instance provides a penalty for having only 1 instead of 2.

Part___Avail___Price___Penalty
Lung___ 10____ $5,000_ Short of breath flaw.
Kidney__ 10____ $3,000_ Weak immune system flaw.
Liver___ 10____ $1000__ (-1) body (represents loss of part of liver)

Not So Duplicate Body Parts:
Sometimes you want to sell something you don't have extra of. Of course, if you took them off someone else, you may have to go with street index.

Part___Avail___Price__
Eyes(2)__ 8____ $1000
Heart___10____$3000


A mean harvester can make a biotech roll to remove these from unconscious patents. The roll is TN 4 if the patient need not survive the operation, TN 8 if you want them to survive.

As you can see, there is quite the possibility for you to earn some extra money. Such organs must be refridgerated if sold "on the street". A body must be living at time of extraction or have been refridgerated. It can go up to 1 hour without life or refridgeration to be useful. Cyber-enhanced parts cannot be sold as parts, but can be sold as used cyberware instead.

(And, for the record)
A full human body, with the proper extraction, provides the following:
Eyes: $1000
Heart: $3000
Lungs(2): $10,000
Kidney(2): $6,000
Liver: $1,000
Marrow: $1000
Blood: Body*$500 (minus physical wound boxes)
Eggs: 1d6*$1000 (determine remaining eggs) (female only)

That's $22,000 for parts
Body * $500 for blood (average body = 3 = $1500)
So $23,500 * .75(street index) = $17,625.

Each extraction should have a base time of an hour. 0 successes means that the part is ruined. Oops means that all the parts are ruined.

Refridgeration units, blood bags, and the equipment should cost about $5000 for the whole reusable set, about $500 for each body in bags and containers.
