Giving: Extra Money or a Kidney
Ok, so the internet is great right? Computers and technology provide all of these neat distractions.
Let's switch gears here. I've been a very fortunate person and the stuff I've had to deal with lately is small fries compared to living life in Afghanistan, parts of Africa, and other places.
A friend recommended The Ends of the Earth: From Togo to Turkmenistan, from Iran to Cambodia, a Journey to the Frontiers of Anarchy. I'm just starting to dive into it but it's supposedly about a journey to undeveloped countries. Countries plagued with corruption and other things that prevent people from getting the basic necessities to live like food and clean water.
Doc's blog had a reference to this post by David Winer. Dave Jacobs needs a kidney transplant and so if you're blood type O, there are links to info about becoming a donar. "The success rate for kidney transplants with living donors at UCSF is at 95% and the vast majority of donors suffer no long-term health problems."
Update:
Dave Jacobs had a kidney transplant December 3rd and is doing well. He promised to post some updates soon. Most of the comments have been from people in developing nations wanting to give up a kidney for money which is quite unfortunate. Thankfully Dave was able to receive a kidney from a living donor and is recovering. I'm closing comments now to avoid the "Will give kidney for $20,000USD" replies.

If you would like to donate your kidney to the person in the article, instead of responding here:
Please contact Dave at 415-264-6444, or send email to bigdave@sfjacobs.com, and we can put you in touch with the transplant coordinator at UCSF, David's transplant center.

Hi,
I am 22 year male quiet healthy, have no desease and my blood group is B+. If any one is in need of the same please feel free to contact me at: vipuls_b@hotmail.com

I can understand wanting/needing something so bad that one is willing to do anything to get it. I don't want anything for me but rather for my kids. Due to NAFTRA and the decline in the economy I am in fear of losing my home. A home that I worked very hard to get, a home that I do not want to lose.
I am a healthy Caucasian male, 6'1" and 185 pounds. If you have the ability to partake in the helping of one good deed in turn for another contact me at NineUpProd@aol.com

I am 47 and extremely healthy. I would like to offer a kidney for donation. I would require that some type of insurance be provided in case of any complications. I would also require some type of remuneration for time lost due to operation. Please contact me at dghalterman@yahoo.com
