What is a living donor?
When an organ transplant is required organs can be sourced from cadavers (dead donors) or from living donors. Living organ donation OS possible because some organs are duplicated in the body (e.g. kidneys) and one of the two can be removed for transplant, and other organs (e.g. the liver) are able to regenerate in the donors body after a portion is removed for transplant. Being a living donor is not a matter to be taken lightly as surgical complications can lead to the death of the donor. In addition, in the case of the removal of a paired organ, the donor foreits his spare organ which might be required later in life. In either case the transplant does not ensure the recovery of the recipient.
Information on transplants and how you can become a donor?
Well, transplants is when a person has a failing organ and in order to survive, they need a new healthy one. For most organ transplants, the donor must be dead. If someone died, but was otherwise in good health, the family may be asked if they want to donate the organs. I believe a living person can donate a kidney though. It is well-known live donors donate up to half their livers to someone needing a transplant. If the liver 'takes', both the donor and patient will have their half-livers grow back to full size in 4 to 6 weeks. My question is: What are the age limits for the live donor?
Do organ doners get paid?
Well, for it to be done legally would make it a bit pointless for organ donors to get paid - you sign up to be an organ donor when you get or renew your license or state ID, but you donate the organs... after you're dead. Now, there be no Rock N' Roll... IN HELL... and, likewise, there be no need for money there, either.
