It is cool that donors automatically go to the top of the donation list if they need a kidney in the future.


I mean, they paid into the system and went from 2 to 1 to zero kidneys. Seems fair to me.


Yes it is. It certainly helps ameliorate the long-term risks of complications associated with becoming a living kidney donor. While those risks aren't massive, they're certainly enough to make people pause. Anything that can lessen those fears can only help.

what happens if they get two kidney fails, are they still top of the list for a third?
