A Question About Giving up a kidney.
An acquaintance of mine donated a kidney. My wife told me about it.

I said, "Oh, did he have a sibling who needed it or something?"

She said, "No, he just always wanted to donate a kidney."

"Donate it to who?"

"Anyone. So he's made arrangements and he's donating one."

After several moments of disbelief and confusion, I finally understood that this guy had always thought it would be cool to donate a kidney, so he made arrangements and did it. Just had the doctors take it out, and presumably it's now in some other person.

I had no idea that a person could do this. I always figured that donations either came after death, or you could do it for a specific person. Did you know that a person could do this?

What do you think about this?

Yeah, no. Then you get T boned by some dumbass, lose your other kidney, then spend several days a week visiting the dialysis clinic

I worked with a guy who gave his brother a kidney. He said the complications and the medication you have to take for the rest of your life is a hassle.

Donors do not need to take medications after donating besides some possible pain meds immediately following. Recipients will need to but not donors.

So you know all about the medical condition of the co-worker of a guy on the internet that you don't know?

Got it.

He's saying under normal circumstances. And he's right. If that other dude is on meds due to the donation, it's because of some kind of complication, which are pretty rare.

That's funny, I just checked for the words "under normal circumstances" in BigRichard's post, and sure enough, they weren't there.

Complications being "pretty rare" probably doesn't mean much to a guy suffering from life long complications.

Absolutely not.

My organs are mine, until I’m dead. At which time they can be used for whatever someone needs.

I'm in between. It's way cool that he wants to help someone that way but as said earlier he's one wreck away from being the person he helped. I've known people with one kidney and they was normal in every way including drinking so I know living with one isn't a problem except there's no back-up.
