I have to donate a kidney to my grandmother?!
Question: I have to donate a kidney to my grandmother?
My grandma's husband told me I have to give her mine, I will feel terrible if I don't. Even though her and her husband aren't the nicest to me, I will feel responsible for her death if I don't do this.
I don't like how they hold it over my head though, but I want to help.
Doctors did some tests and said mine was good enough for her.
I just turned 19 and I want to know the consiquences of this disision I have made before I go to the doctors again next week to plan the surgery date.
Should I make a will?
Answers:
Tell them you are sick, tell them you have Glandular Fever and stay away for a while, tell them that you have been advised from your doctor that you shouldn't give a kidney, that it will put your life in risk.
You shouldn't feel guilty that you have to give a kidney, she's old and lived her life, it's not your fault that technology has progressed.
And, you don't know, you may be affected one day somehow, that you only have one kidney, just because your available doesn't mean you have to be. It might not be a good move.
You are young, you deserve to have 2 kidneys, she did when she was your age.
So do not feel guilty and get out of it without anyone else blaming you. You have every right over your own body!
I hope you don't feel guilty anymore, in fact they should feel guilty asking a young person to GIVE a KIDNEY!!!
Ohh! this makes me so mad! You don't do it, finish the story...ok?
I really wish u the best of luck, i will pray for u now in my head..
=D
First of all, it is your body. If you don't want to do it, don't let anyone force you. It sounds like your grandmother is in pretty bad shape and your kidney may not even save her. To me it sounds like they are playing the guilt card with you. I understand she is your grandmother but if you do it, do it because you care not because it is being held over your head.
okay this may sound mean but she is 65 and your 19 why should you have to worry about your quality of life when she has already used up hers... she is probly sick for a reason... to be very honest with you your body has two kidneys for a reason if one goes bad you can live off the other.. also it will make drinking alcohol harder maybe even bad for your health and this is something everyone should enjoy a little drinking here and there.... you are not responsible for her death she probly mad various life choices that put her in this situation... and the last part why on earth should you feel guilty? your a 19 year old girl go live your life... from another persons unbiased perspective do not do it!!!! what her husband is doing to you is wrong he is trying to play on your emotions.. which if he succeeds one day could have health risks for you!!! so bottom line dont do it if you have any questions message me oh and please let me know what you plan to do as i care about a young persons health.... oh and if they wernt very nice to you **** em.. tell your grandma to get on a donors list and leave you alone
Don't do anything you don't wanna do..
if they aren't nice to you, why should you do something so drastic to save her?
This could affect the rest of your life.
You're ONLY NINETEEN. my god! You're just barely learning to live!
She's hitting the end of her life, while you're at the beginning.
If they try to guilt trip you into this, then they don't care about your welfare.
Don't do it, if you aren't close to her.
Sounds like she's close to dying even with a kidney. And you don't "have to" give yours. I can't believe he would even tell you something like that!
make him give one then!
It's just my honest opinion..
You're young, healthy.
She's old, doesn't even care about you, and dying.
You might need that kidney later...
You're putting the rest of your life at risk...
My opinions..
