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

I'll give one up for Richie Incognito if he'll play for us.

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.

In the same vein, could the donor come back to you and get your other kidney if yours fails? Kinda like an organ lemon law? Quote:

I've wondered if you could make it a loaner kidney. You donate it, but only on the condition that if you outlive the person who receives it, they'll put it back in you for free. And if they do, do you then have to take medicines as an organ recipient, or does the rest of your body welcome the traveling kidney back and it's all cool? I would presume that it would be the second case.

A grandniece of mine lost kidney function at 9 months of age. She was on dialysis from then 'til she got a cadaver transplant 2 years ago. Since her condition was caused from genetics on both sides of her family no one in the family was eligible as donors. She is now a (short) thriving 17 year old, driving and participating in life to it's fullest. Her having that condition has really raised awareness in our family on the importance of being an organ donor and everyone one of us has that designation on ou driver's licenses/state id's. I think it's awesome that someone would be willing to give a total stranger an integral part of their body so that person could live longer. Not sure I'm that awesome.

I don't judge, although I don't understand, but it's his decision.
