MrBalloonHand165 karma

I want to donate part of my liver anonymously but can't afford to take a bunch of time off work. It seems kind of silly that this is what's stopping me, though, but that's basically it. I live in the US. Is the whole situation just fucked, or is there some reasonable way for a working class uninsured person to do this?

I guess there's a big thing I glossed over: part of my motivation comes from the fact that I drank heavily in my 20's and gave it up entirely about 18 months ago. My drinking days were dark times and I consider myself lucky to have survived some of the situations I put myself in. I figure if I managed to make it to this point in life without any permanent damage, I owe it to the universe to put some good back out there and this is the most obvious way I can think to do that. I suppose I'd have to get a lot of tests and have those come back good-to-go before anyone would consider taking a piece, but I'd really like to see that happen.
