We all have opportunities in our life to do something significant for someone we love. To worry and ponder over what might happen is actually your fear taking over. I think it is amazing that at 16 you are considering making such a loving contribution to help her in the situation she is facing. So perhaps you can take this one small step at a time, and first recognize what a truly generous and loving person you are. Then release all the fear and anxiety you might have that is based on non-factual "thoughts". These fears really have nothing to do with you, they are simply ideas that are floating in and out of your consciousness. Anticipate great health and a great future, only accept the best because this is what you deserve and can have!
Regardless of your final decision, you will remain the person you are truly, and sometimes that means recognizing that it is not up to you to save the world. We all have our destinies, and your sister has hers. If you chose to help, then you are wonderful, and if you chose to help in another way, by being their for her, then you are wonderful.
Congradulations on being a kind and considerate person, and thanks for the opportunity to answer.

Kidney failure is VERY serious. If you have a available kidney, I would 100% offer it. She could die before her name gets picked off the list. The donor list is very long, and it takes a while, would you really want to keep seeing her in that condition if you had a healthy kidney to offer? The scar is minimal, and it goes away by using stuff like the cream "scar zone". They have advanced in technology so well, that it's not going to be the big gash on you. If I was you, I'd offer it.

Well if you are a match then Yes.Donors have to wait to find a match or someone to pass away before fining a kidney and while they are waiting the have to be on dyalis.I know a young man who is 11 yrs old with double kidney failure and he is waiting on that donor list and is going through alot at his age.It would be the unselfish thing to do for your sister.well I geuss you will have to decide wethere you want your sister to live or not ,you may never need but one kidney.Good Luck on your descion.

It is a tough and scary decision for you - the surgery will actually be harder on you than it will be for your sister (you will take longer to recover). The scar will not be a problem for you and you will have to be careful and hope you don't have an accident that damages your remaining kidney. But look at the up side - you get to see your sister healthy and she will be in your life for many years to come. It would be an incredible gift (haha, that you could hold over her - just see her try and tell you she can't give you a lift to a friends house, lol).
You take care and I wish you and your sister all the best.

You will have to make your father and mother proud and glad by way of donating to Haiti. The earthquake struck in Haiti, incidentally, and they aren't Africans, they're Haitians. LOL. Well, was African till they grew to become unbiased. Back to the subject. I suppose that it would not excel your dating along with your father, since it's like risking a existence. IF, your father gave you his organs, what might you do with it? Just go away it on your closet? What might you desire once you acquired his organs? What will exchange your father's lung/kidney? IF, your father's existence was once taken away since of giving them to you, how might you consider? Since you are 18 and wealthy, your dad have got to be older than no less than forty-50 yrs of age. It is dangerous for any one over 30 to have their fundamental organs disturbed, except this is a very well rationale (eg. melanoma). Also, you may have the whole thing you’ve continuously WANTed and extra, why nonetheless ask for extra? Since you're modest, why no longer aid different men and women in low earnings which can be in NEED? "Need" and "desire" are 2 very one-of-a-kind sunjects. And I suppose while you say "lots of men and women desire to be my buddy", it perhaps your cash that men and women are drawn to. (no offence >.<) I wish this is helping :) I'm sorry if this does not reply your query, however I'm only a traditional teenage lady who is not wealthy in any respect. xD Again, I wish this is helping! P.S. i certainly not dreamed of any one in need of to excel a dating by way of taking an organ! xD I marvel how... =

i dont think blood type has anything to do with it, but if your a match with her i think you should, the list is so long its so hard for her to get a kidney i dont really no anything about it, but as the say "the greatest gift you can give is the gift of life"
