Some good points here. I was talking about transplants from the living as well. My primary deterrent from doing that was always the nightmare scenario of a family member later needing the same organ and knowing that there was likely a way better chance of the organ not being rejected in this case, plus the obvious pain of not being able to help a family member I could have.
To be clear I'm not trying to say that if I had no one in my life I would have absolutely done this, but I do know it's something I might have possibly thought over as long as I was really healthy and in a very good place in life.
Yeah I have the same concern in the off chance my brother needs a replacement organ. I dont know if blood type works with organs since I'm a universal donor.
Plus I don't drink enough to warrant an extra kidney. I like to think of it as I'm keeping it warm for someone who might need it in the future.
