kaas? kidneys as a subscription service /s ? choose your toxins


I like the idea. „Hey I have a life treating condition and it might help if x is filtered out in my kidney, is that possible? Of course that will make an additional 5€/month , but since we would loose one of our valued customers we will give you 30% of for the first six months“

Somebody know some bio engineers, I’m hiring.


This is the basis of the book "The Repossession Mambo" [0] and the (slightly less good) film "Repo Men" [1].

They're about what happens when you can no longer pay for your artificial body parts (the repo man comes and reclaims their property).

Also, the plot of the wonderful 2008 rock opera, “Repo! The Genetic Opera”.
