Keeping the kidney healthy so that it is usable upon death?
- margalabargala 3y agoThe one piece of labor necessary to become an organ donor is to check a box when applying for or renewing your driver's license. You have no obligation to do anything else or even think about it ever again. You can make exactly the choices you prefer without regard for your organ health, if you like.
- dotnet00 3y agoThey asked what labor you'd be doing to be compensated for upon donating an organ after death. Simply checking the box doesn't ensure that your organs are healthy enough to donate. The monetary compensation would be for keeping the organs in a healthy enough state to be actually donatable (rather than just potentially donatable, as is the case with just checking the box).
- Calavar 3y agoIf you make life decisions that keep your organs healthy enough to donate, the primary beneficiary of that isn't the organ procurement agency, it's *you*. You'll live longer and have better health. I wouldn't call optimizing your personal wellbeing "labor" or "work."
- lazyasciiart 3y agoYou're not doing much of that once you're dead.
- wizardwes 3y agoThat's not a requirement to be an organ donor though. Unless you have religious beliefs about the sanctity of an intact corpse, then the only potential harm is wasted resources checking if your organs are viable.
