Man auctions kidney online to help ill daughter

A DESPERATE father who is auctioning one of his kidneys online to fund medical treatment for his sick daughter was warned yesterday that he could face prosecution.

Briton Peter Randall is trying to sell the organ on auction website eBay for at least 70,000 to finance special therapy for six-year-old Alice, who suffers from cerebral palsy.

The ad describes him as a "49-year-old non-smoking male who drinks only socially and who is in good health", and says the kidney could be posted to a buyer in Britain, Middle East, Asia, Europe or North America.
