People think there is nothing to taking out your "extra" kidney.....

if we were meant to have only one kidney, we would have one kidney...we have one heard, one gallbladder, one brain, one pancreas etc...

there are no guarentees if you donate that your health will stay good...if you do any kind of physical sport or work, you are at risk to injury the only kidney you have.

Never heard of such a thing, a good transplant center can transplant babies.

True regardless if one DONATES or one SELLS. In a FREE society, one can make either choice; We lost ‘owning’ ourselves *years* ago.
