Is Selling a Kidney to Pay off Debt Legal?

View Post in Vietnamese: >> Có được bán thận trả nợ không?

I borrowed 200 million VND from loan sharks but do not have money to repay. I want to sell a kidney to pay off my debt. Is that allowed?

Clause 1 Article 154 of the Criminal Code 2015 stipulates the crime of trading, appropriating human tissues or body parts as follows:

Anyone who trades or appropriates tissues or body parts of another person shall be sentenced to imprisonment from 03 years to 07 years.

Therefore, the current law prohibits the trading of human body parts. If you sell a kidney to pay off a debt, it is against the law, and the penalty for this act can range from 03 years to 07 years in prison.

Sincerely!
