But if he is publicly regretting donating a kidney, won't he be preventing many kidneys from being donated?
I just don't him going public with his opinion as a good thing. It may become something he regrets even more than his kidney donation.
Even the reporter and the post's title is irresponsible. If I were just reading through the headlines, it would influence my feelings about donating a kidney.
Instead, the title could have been "Kidney-donating doc pleads: please register as an organ donor" and have similar content in the post, but with the main point being that people should register to be an organ donor if they die.
- kelnos 10y agoMaybe it should influence you. From what it sounds like, he was essentially misled as to how unlikely it is that he could suffer complications down the road. If you (or anyone else) is less likely to donate because of that, perhaps that's a good thing. Not good for the potential recipient, perhaps, but good for you, which is just as important.
