Sometimes in life, friendships can be tested, especially when fate intervenes.

Hypothetical scenario:

You have found out your best friend is in the hospital, and is in critical condition.

He needs a kidney transplant, and his blood type matches yours.

Would you give your best friend one of your kidneys, since it has been medically proven we can function with one?

Thoughts?

Yeah. If I can help and is no real big risk to me, I see no reason not to.

I'd sure as hell do whatever it takes to get him one. he's got B+ blood and I have O+ which means I don't think I'd be able to give him a kidney, but I've always told him if he needed one I'd get him one. I'd trade one of my O+ kidneys to somebody if they had a donor who had B+ that they could trade me. I don't even know if that's allowed, trading things around like that. But I'd do it, I'd cut myself open for a stranger if a stranger would cut themselves open for him.

Well first, I would like to make sure there is no other alternative other than my Kidney. But if there is no one else then yeah I would donate my Kidney to him because now I can torment him with bad sex jokes. "I'm inside you now"

No, I think he is just stating his realisation of how expectations/decisions change depending on what your position is, and how ironic/hypocritical that change seems.

I'd donate it to her without question. Though in reality I don't think our blood types match.
