Unfortunately you're asking the wrong guy, because I wouldn't.
I'd instead turn my formidable wealth towards "grow me a new liver tech" while waiting it out on dialysis. Shitty for me maybe, but I'm a big believer in egalite, as the French put it. I could then probably turn around and roll-out the new liver tech at an affordable cost for everyone and recoup my R&D, if I had survived long enough.
- billforsternz 13y agoWell good for you, but this doesn't address my point. My point is that your decision would make you a saint. Making the other decision would make you a non-saint rather than an asshole. Incidentally, you really need to let go of the kidney/dialysis thing. There is no equivalent of dialysis for liver disease. If your liver stops working they cannot hook you up to a machine, you either get a liver transplant in a day or two or you die.
- wavefunction 13y agoyou're right, I just woke up and my first thought was "why the heck did I talk about dialysis" when we were discussing livers. Also weird that it was my first thought upon waking! my only excuse last night was that it was late, I was exhausted from a long day, and I kept conflating the two for some reason cheers
