Comment on Is there a reason I should donate a kidney to a stranger now, rather than just waiting till I die, at which point both kidneys will probably be donated to strangers anyway?
Source? When they proposed to do this for blood donors, it got shut down in a hurry.
alright, i was being facetious. a cursory search tells me this, but i have no idea if it’s true or not. i imagine not, but i don’t know
If you read the articles you linked, you’ll notice some specifically fishy language. Neither one says that donors are promised first dibs, only that they often get it. If it’s not written down, you have nothing if they decide to do it differently.
i know. like i said, i don’t believe it

of course they do: they've only got one kidney, so it's more important for them to get a replacement quickly
