Can we start a thread about selling your organs to someone in need. I've always wondered if I'm a big enough asshole to charge some one in need like 100k. You know skip the waiting list here's my shit let's find some crazy European dr to do it tomorrow if the check clears kind of deal.

Right, and it sounds like he barely knows this person. It's something you do for someone you love. So, like I said, why even consider it?

Technically he never even said that he loved the guy...

This. Sometimes it's okay to be selfish. You're not being, but if that's your hang up, that's my response. ****. Start tipping like a normal human being and you can feel better about yourself.

Yeah. I know. That's kinda the point.

I'd do it for one of my sons, but that's about it.

You get the chance to be a one in a million hero.

My mother needed a kidney after they found a mass on both. I gave her mine. No questions asked. You do what you do for the ones you love. But each person has their own choice. For me though, there was no second guessing about it

Thanks for the responses. I will ponder it. If it was for one of my parents or something I wouldnt have any problems doing it. That just makes me feel selfish. Im also afraid my family will look down on me if I dont. I might not even be a match, I dont even know my own blood type, how sad is that?

I'm all about sacrificing for your family but this doesn't make a lot of sense.

Let's say you do this...

At 60 the other person is looking at a higher quality of life for another 10-20 years max... while you will have a lower quality of life for the next 40 years. I know that is cold of me to look at it that way but it's true.

Seriously. Free riding douche tips 8% when he's out of town because he's cheap and knows he'll never have to see the waitresses again.

.. And he's talking about giving up a kidney. Not a chance in hell he does this.

If you do it from a motivation of guilt you will regret it for the rest of your life. I wouldn't consider it if I had strong doubts.

Lol i never said I dont tip, I just wish I never had to do it. Id prefer the self serve places where u wait for you food and then sit down. I just dont tip 20% to 25% like some of you guys. I think thats silly. I always tip around 15% though, I just regret every time i do it and do find myself tipping more at places I frequent the most often

60 years old isn't "old". It's not even "that old". That said, I'd have serious reservations about giving up an internal organ at age 31 as well.

The downside is that it might (and most likely) cause issues for you in the foreseeable future. The upside is that your relative will get a few more years on this planet but it's also difficult to predict how well his body will adapt to the new organ and how happy he'll be with an extended window.

The other "upside", if you will, to you donating an organ is that science is moving swiftly to create perfect organ matches, whether it's from stem cell tissue or 3D printing. So there's a chance that if you give up an organ, science will be able to re-grow it within your lifetime.

Personally, I wouldn't do it. You're 31. You might meet the love of your life tomorrow, get married and have kids. If there are complications with your body, your wife and your children will be the people that suffer most.

Why don't YOU volunteer to be tested to see if you're a match?
