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?

I believe legalizing selling organs would become a bit of an ethically complicated mine field.

I did hear on a podcast a while back that one of the biggest markets for missing and exploited children in the middle east is the very rich sheikhs will pay people for these black market kids if they are a match to harvest their organs so their own sick children can get a transplant.

Disturbing to say the least.

Sounds like rich muslim scumbags doing rich muslim scumbag shit. Has little bearing the way things work here.

I just don't see any reason why the only person who doesn't reap a windfall here is the person giving up a vital organ. That's nuts.

I could go on.

I would if I could, BCT. I would if I could.

If your wife needed a transplant and you were a match, would you donate?

I think that's not even relevant to the point he is making. Pretty sure everyone would.

Would you walk in to a hospital and just randomly donate a kidney to nobody in particular? Without compensation? Does it make you an asshole if you wouldn't? Does it make the Doctor an asshole since he didn't donate his time and expertise to do the procedure? Are the hospitals assholes for charging for tests and blood work and bed time, etc?

There is actually more to it than that as well.

A lot of the time when people are seeking a living donor, usually within the family but not always, they offer to recoup any income lost due to the procedure as the donor is going to miss many weeks of work as well.
