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. But it would have to be somebody I cared about that much, and there aren't very many of them.

Why shouldn't the person who doenst have a dog in the fight not get something out of it? Especially since they might need a back up some day .

Selling becomes a bigger issue. There are places on this planet where selling organs is perfectly legal, and trafficking is a major problem.

But in your case I think it would help you tremendously

Is it legal to sell your own organs, those of a deceased person, or just random organs that you, um, find?

The second case is the most interesting to me. Is there a country where a relative dies and the family sells all of the organs as an inheritance? I'm genuinely curious.

I haven’t heard of that. More of a problem is people taking homeless people or people in dire straits financially and offering them a “cut” of the money they get.

I was wondering what happens if your kidney has stones in it?

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

I think if I were ever to entertain the notion, I’d want a clause in the agreement: If the recipient’s body were to “reject” the kidney, I’d want the option to get it back at no cost. Call it a right of second refusal. I’d also want no-cost counseling for the kidney so it could learn strategies for coping with rejection.
