I recently donated my kidney directly to the national list in the UK, and I'm wondering what your feelings are about receiving a kidney from a stranger. If you did accept one would you have an interest in meeting this person in the future, or would you feel uneasy doing so? I have a mild curiosity as to who received mine but I am not strongly inclined to find out, and I wonder if meeting me might have some sort of negative psychological effect on the recipient, such as (unwarranted) guilt. I wouldn't want to offend them if they happened to contact me in the future.
