Zagreb - A Croatian man has offered to sell his kidney and cornea in an attempt to pay back loans worth €35 000 (about R245 000), a local newspaper reported on Thursday.
"I know that selling organs is illegal, and I know that by losing a cornea I will go blind in one eye, but I am ready for it," 40-year-old Nenad Vrbanic told daily newspaper Vjesnik.
"I see no other way out. By selling these organs I will help myself and someone else," said Vrbanic, who has sold his car and house in a Zagreb suburb.
He now lives with his mother in a rural area in the north.
