JohnMitchell 14 #26 July 16, 2007 Quote Fuck NO! I wouldn’t donate a vital organ to anyone! It’s not like those things grow back. Loosing a kidney shortens your lifespan and you must alter your lifestyle dramatically to compensate for the loss. Besides, there are enough people dying nowadays that these organs can be easily harvested from cadavers who no longer need them. Humans have excess renal capacity. You can have a very normal life on just one kidney. As far as useable organs from cadavers? The process is in place with the organ donation programs today, but it still isn't meeting the demand.

I'm pretty sure that I *WOULD* have been told of this when I was undergoing tissue matching when my sister needed a new kidney.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
