Partner? If it would save their life, I would give a Kidney to any family member or close friend. You only need one, how could you live with yourself if someone you love died when you could have done something to save their life?
Yeah of course I would ,though I'm not sure if my kidneys would be suitable as they're both scarred after my first pregnancy but if they were suitable I'd let him have one.
If it was a matter of life and death I would. I was went to the Royal Mail today and the lady in from went to get her slip out of her purse to collect the parcel she missed and I saw a donor card. I think it is one of the bravest and kindest things to do is to give a part of your anatomy in order to save someone's life.
I know someone who did this and bitterly regretted it .She gave it to her sister who made a promise to adopt a healthy lifestyle , but she didn't and kept on smoking heavily .Six years later she died , taking the kidney with her ! ( died of lung cancer )
My best friend did. She gave it to her husband. They are a great couple. He was home before her lol. She was in hospital longer as her operation had complications.
I don't have a partner but I would give both and other organs that resulted in my demise to my mother and some family members if it was to save their life, I can't imagine the nhs agreeing to that though.;-)
No. I have been married twice. Both are proper ***** and are long gone from my life. All theydid was break hearts or bones.
I would gladly give my kidney to any of my children or siblings nieces or nephews.
And my two closest friends.
I did have one soul mate partner who passed away almost 7 years ago from Cf. I would have given him anything to keep him here. Sadly by the time he accepted a transplant was morallyright it was to late.
You have to be compatible first. You have to consider the implications to yourself.
I would do it for a family member but as my kidneys wouldn't be acceptable to transplant it's not something I can consider, so this is a mute question for me.
Dialysis is inconvenient and time consuming to those that have to undertake it, but it's a lot better than it used to be and people can survive quite happily for decades on dialysis. Donating a kidney is more about giving that person quality of life. So if it's your partner and you are able to donate a kidney, then it will help both of you as a couple.
However not all kidney transplants are successful. At least though if they aren't the person can return to dialysis.
Yes but he wouldn't be offered one anyway as his heart wouldn't be strong enough to stand major surgery. A new heart would be more beneficial to him but unfortunately that's not something i can help with!
(I have heard of people donating a kidney to their partner and then splitting up, I don't think you should do it with the proviso that you never split up though!)

I would do it without hesitation.
Nearly all partners cheat.... how more betrayed will you feel after giving the swine your kidney?
But I would give any of my immediate (blood) family a kidney, without a second thought!
Blimey:o
Do you have any statistics to back up your claim?
Ok, see ya in 10 minutes.:D
I would have done it if required! It wasn't thank god! Especially as they turned out to be cheating gits.
As far as I know I have the standard two!
I'd donate my kidney to anyone who needed it if I was a match with them - partner, family, friend, ex or even a stranger.
