fuzzybluemonkeysHow many functioning kidneys do you have?
Two? Two whole entire kidneys when you only need one to live?
Well then let's put you on the donor list for--
What's that?
You only care about the lives of innocent children?
No problem! There are over 2,000 pediatric patients on the kidney transplant waiting list!
How about your liver? How's that doing?
Did you know that you can survive having part of your liver removed and that it will then regrow?
And the donated part will also grow into a fully functional liver?
So if you like to drink alcohol, you'd better stop because your irresponsible behavior is going to kill the child who needs part of your liver to survive.
Don't like either of those options?
You can also donate portions of your lungs, pancreas, or intestines! Unfortunately, those do not grow back, but they remain functional even with a missing piece! Slightly less functional in some cases, but it's not like you were going to be running any marathons anyway, right?
What's the matter?
No time to take off work for recovery?
Worried about long term health effects?
Think you might need your other kidney someday?
Have preexisting conditions that could cause complications?
Surgery is scary?
You just plain old don't want to give up pieces of yourself even if it would save someone else's life?
Well. You really should have thought about that before you decided to be anti-abortion.
