Why should I sacrifice my own kidney for less than a single year of someone else's dialysis cost? I'm giving up my second kidney for the rest of my life. They're likely going to use it for longer than a year. No, sir. My kidneys are only for family members unless I'm a vegetable.
Edit: apparently, a kidney is worth about $260k on the black market. The 90% survival rate for a kidney transplant is 15 years. I figure the fair market value for a kidney is therefore somewhere between $260k and $2.5M, not $50k. Being a living kidney donor is not harmless, either. Incidence of mild renal failure, hypertension, proteinuria (protein in your urine) and cardiovascular disease is higher in living kidney donors.
