Default Re: Selling organs, and regeneration

With this thread being revived and me having similar questions due to some character ideas, I'll just address a few things stated in this thread.

1) How can you hope to do this on your own? No, really, is this even possible to do on your own? Even if you can surgically remove your own internal organs with the care needed to then sell them to organ leggers (as opposed to just hungry human-eaters), the effort involved means you'll probably get caught. If you're too social, it gives people more chances to notice things, if you're a shut-in, people may grow suspicious... and even if no one knows about such a potent spell, someone will just think you're illegally selling goods or services of another kind appropriate to the setting.

2) How likely is the similarity between the organs to matter? How obvious would it be even to someone "in the know"?

Anyway, I had a character concept that was going to result in a somewhat similar situation; skipping the details until I know they are important, but I am now thinking the character should buy an Ally or Contact or maybe even a Patron to handle most of this business.
