My answer depends on whether he received a hooker and a nice hotel room with lots of ice. |

As someone in need of a kidney, that guy really is a hero.
If I could, I would. Maybe not without knowing what I know now, four years into dialysis. Donating a kidney shouldn’t be any more eventful than a few days in the hospital and a couple weeks of R&R. No new meds, no changes in lifestyle. For the person receiving it, it not only is a literal life saver, it gives them back their life. Being tethered to a machine is no way to live. I know. |

![]() I know this may be a stupid question but have you look at international options? Is it viable or allowed?

I wonder with this guy if he would have liked to give it to a particular person or not. It appears that he wasn't motivated by helping a particular individual, even though that's the obvious outcome. I wondered too about the payment. He's going to have significant medical bills, so I'm presuming that some organization or some person paid them for him. Was it the recipient? Some nonprofit? And my impression is that he didn't sell the kidney, though I guess I don't know that.
