Let's say I've been popping out kidney stones for the past few years, but they only seem to have been forming on one side and not the other.
If I happen to get into some kind of tricky situation with an organized [npi] crime group in SE Asia and they mention a kidney donation would resolve the matter, would it be incorrect and selfish of me to offer the worse of the two kidneys for donation?
(assuming they even allow that choice, of course)
@Arkturos saidYou're going to wake up in a bathtub full of ice, a couple incisions in your back and with a note that says "call your doctor"

@AThousandYoung saidOh yes -- I have seen two or three movies with such scenes. I might not have a choice in the matter.

But it's still polite of them to provide the bathtub full of ice.
And now I'm thinking (considering their likely clients), they would probably instruct the doctor to harvest the better of the two kidneys anyway.
@Arkturos saidUh… good question.

The first thing I would need to know is if the kidney making the stones does so of its own accord, or if the rest of your body is involved in some way.
If it’s your body forcing the kidney to malfunction, then it’s probably ethical, in your position, to give that kidney away.
If it’s the kidney itself that is backfiring rocks of penile pain, then other matters must be considered.
One such matter is, however, who’s buying said kidneys on the black market in the first place, and are they not deserving of unmentionable pain, so that you can slither away from the hell you’ve created for yourseld.
But say it’s a nasty creel giving it to his daughter… she’s innocent…
Anyhoo, in reality I would presume you’ll lose both kidneys and be found bled out in a bath tub.
@shavixmir saidEver so slightly better to be found bled out whole in a bathtub than to be found in seven large cooking pots in a plastic-lined apartment, for instance.

@shavixmir saidUnfortunately I still live in Florida at the moment, and we have a different breed of thugs over here.
I presume it would depend on what you ate the previous day.
