How much would I get?


Question:
How much money would I get if I donated one of my kidneys to a Canadian? Is this a risky procedure? Has anyone had anything like this done before? Any links would help too, thanks.

Oh yeah, and I'm 15 years old if that makes a difference

Answers:
keep in mind that there is a possibility that you might one day have one fail. i am a year older then you by the way, and i have to say, being a teenager it is so not a decision you are ready to make, that is, even if you are aloud to do that. i am also a canadian, and i really think that you must be over 18 at least. i know someone who just had a kidney fail, and a fairly random person donated the kidney for his surgery. it is such an amazing thing to do. just wait, maybe someone that you are close too will need your help in many years time. start with donating blood when you can do that. : D
dont do it~! Youre too young and need youre health.....unle... it was for a family member who is dying or seomthing ....
"donate" means you are giving it to someone without being paid.

that being said, unless you are a match to someone who needs a kidney, no LEGAL doctor in his right mind will remove an organ from you. thank you for putting your age on here. i'm glad to see an adult isn't asking this question. it worries me that you will be one in 3 years, though.

I would not advice you to do so, because it will lead you to so many problems in future(eg. while your pregnency ).
