“You jerk. I hope you never ever need to have a kidney transplant. Try spending the rest of YOUR life on a dialysis machine, you fool.”
Or, try answering at the Judgment Chair for your role in murder out of a selfish desire to live at the expense of another human being’s life. BTW, name calling is both against the rules and a poor reflection on your character.
I was so pissed about what this guy/gal said that I wasn’t thinking. I apologize for what I said. It has NO reflection on my character, despite what you think. FReepers know me well enough to know my character. SO many people I see in dialysis every other day would love to get off that machine for a few years, if nothing else. Donor kidneys are hardly available because people just don’t want to be bothered. Cadaver kidneys are our only hope most of the time. I’ve never heard of anyone’s kidneys being harvested from a living person. I think it’s a gross exaggeration. I’m in dialysis three days a week. It runs my life, but in spite of it I do well. I see so many die because nobody will give them a kidney. Try it sometime. See who’s judging who here.
It’s not only for me, but for the thousands of people who are waiting and many will be dying because of the need for a transplant. Wait til it happens to you or one of yours. Maybe YOU won’t be standing in judgement of me or of others in our position.
