There ' s a user who ' s posts were getting all spangled in cst and people thought they were malfunctioning AI . <| sep |> Dude , I know the other guy who posted got downvoted to hell , but I ' m gonna post it again . This does not constitute medical advice or anything , but you have 15 million dollars . Get a liver transplant . This was in the news when Steve Jobs got his liver transplant . There were accusations at the time that he did unethicalillegal things to buy his liver transplant , but I won ' t go into that . Let me just point out the legal stuff note this all only applies for if you ' re in the United States . The way it works is you need a liver transplant . You go to a designated liver transplant center that rates your clinical condition and severity . That severity score and location is uploaded to the UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing . The UNOS then works with Organ Procurement Organizations OPOs to organize transplants at a local level . Let ' s say you live in San Francisco and get evaluated at a San Francisco Liver Transplant Center . The next time the SF OPO has a donor , they consult the list and severity index and contact the next guy in line . But what they don ' t tell you is that all OPOs are different . Some are really large so more available livers just based off of population and some are really tiny think a loose network of small towns . So each OPO represents its own waiting listlinequeue , and that ' s where money comes in . Steve Jobs had a shit ton of money and could afford a private jet , meaning he could sign up to be on the waiting list for multiple OPOs like the LA OPO , the Chicago OPO , the NY OPO , etc . The only requirement really is that you a need a transplant , and b can get there immediately once a liver is available . In that respect , your money isn ' t buying a transplant . It ' s just that your money allows you to get there faster , so you can be on multiple lists . You may have ethical hangups over using your money that way , but it IS legal , and at that point , I think you could justify it by agreeing to use your now extended life span to help others with the remaining money . At least , that ' s how I ' d rationalize it if I were going through what you were going through . Plus , that way you don ' t have to worry about your sister giving your shitty family your money . Winwinwin .
