Wow, very gutsy. Donating has its risks, after all there's a reason we have two, when only one does the job. I know a person who donated one kidney to his son

Wow, very gutsy.
Donating has its risks, after all there's a reason we have two, when only one does the job. I know a person who donated one kidney to his son and was told to essentially change his lifestyle at least when it came to physical work.
- dankohn1 9y agoIt is cool that donors automatically go to the top of the donation list if they need a kidney in the future.
- selectodude 9y agoI mean, they paid into the system and went from 2 to 1 to zero kidneys. Seems fair to me.
- Bluestrike2 9y agoYes it is. It certainly helps ameliorate the long-term risks of complications associated with becoming a living kidney donor. While those risks aren't massive, they're certainly enough to make people pause. Anything that can lessen those fears can only help. http://khn.org/news/what-happens-when-a-living-kidney-donor-needs-a-transplant/ http://khn.org/news/what-happens-when-a-living-kidney-donor-...
