Truth.

I need BOTH my kidneys to filter beer.

I thought about you when I heard it. I wish I could've hooked you two up.

I wonder with this guy if he would have liked to give it to a particular person or not. It appears that he wasn't motivated by helping a particular individual, even though that's the obvious outcome.

I wondered too about the payment. He's going to have significant medical bills, so I'm presuming that some organization or some person paid them for him. Was it the recipient? Some nonprofit? And my impression is that he didn't sell the kidney, though I guess I don't know that.

They can do whatever they want after I'm dead but until then only way I would donate is for a family or extremely close friend.







Or for a seven figure deal.

Recipients insurance usually covers all costs for the donor.

Yeah it may be real short but it's real thick! ROFLROFL

WOW :eek::eek::eek:

I hope it wasn't passed to the next generation

I'll give up a kidney for free the day the doctors transplant it for free.

Do you mean where it won't cost the donor any money to donate? Excellent, because it already doesn't. Medicare (ESRD is a qualifying factor) covers 100% of the cost for the donor. Recipient pays very little.

Hopefully it goes into a hot chick, and his dick is allowed visitation every other weekend.

I know your body will function just fine with one kidney. But man, I like having a reserve.
Family donation -Yes.
Close Friend-Yes
Just because-? Probably not

It has and will continue to be unfortunately, at least for a few more generations.

You can be a defect carrier and never get symptoms yourself (kidney disease) and then pass it on.


Since its an X chromosome defect and Girls = XX and Boys = XY, males always determine gender.

If you are female and are a carrier you have a 50% chance of passing it along to your offspring, it depends on which X chromosome you pass to your kid, the good one or the bad one. If you are male and are a carrier if you have a girl well, you passed it on since you only have one X chromosome to give.

My grandfather who died from it had 6 daughters so they all ended up with it either symptomatic or as a carrier. 3 daughters were symptomatic, 3 were just carriers. 2 of my aunts who were asymptomatic passed it on to their sons who developed Kidney disease and had transplants. That's shit luck. The 3 symptomatic daughters all died from it.

Fortunately for me and my 2 brothers it appears all 3 of us dodged the bullet with our mom not passing the defective X chromosome to any of us as far as we can tell. My daughter has been genetically tested and she isn't a carrier so no way am I a carrier. My brothers only have 1 boy between them so its possible they are carriers but neither are symptomatic and it usually manifests itself by your 20's if you will be. So they wont be passing it on fortunately.

No, that's not what I meant at all. The doctor's getting paid. The hospital's getting paid. Why shouldn't the donor get paid?

How very selfless of you.

How many kidneys have you donated?
