I never knew it was possible to donate a kidney to a stranger. Was reading an article about someone who couldn't find a donor and a commenter mentioned that this was a thing. I signed up immediately.

I'm healthy, I only need one, and like I said, I figure by the time I actually need one we'll be able to grow one -- but I suspect it won't actually come to that.

In that light, it doesn't seem all that altruistic.




It's still altruistic (since you still don't get anything out of the (now smaller) risk), but probably not as much of a sacrifice as it used to be.
