The Mises Institute neither buys nor sells kidneys

Ever since this article appeared—”Sell Your Kidney, Make a Profit” by Ninos Malek—the Mises Institute has received a steady stream of emails and phonecalls offering to sell and hoping to buy various body parts. As a non-profit organization dedicated to economic education, we cannot do this. Nor are we really prepared to received bodily organs as in-kind gifts. The article has been updated to reflect these facts.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
