Life A Question About Giving up a kidney.

ClevelandBronco · 05-22-2018, 07:14 AM

I think if I were ever to entertain the notion, I’d want a clause in the agreement: If the recipient’s body were to “reject” the kidney, I’d want the option to get it back at no cost. Call it a right of second refusal. I’d also want no-cost counseling for the kidney so it could learn strategies for coping with rejection.

I wonder if that's even possible?

In the same vein, could the donor come back to you and get your other kidney if yours fails? Kinda like an organ lemon law?

I've wondered if you could make it a loaner kidney. You donate it, but only on the condition that if you outlive the person who receives it, they'll put it back in you for free.

And if they do, do you then have to take medicines as an organ recipient, or does the rest of your body welcome the traveling kidney back and it's all cool? I would presume that it would be the second case.

Maybe you could also make it a conditional loan. You give a person one kidney, but only on the condition that your other kidney holds up. If your remaining kidney goes bad, they have to take the loaned one out of the recipient and put it back into you.
