Reply to comment by notpeternotpete in Dad donates kidney to stranger after daughter's transplant by Roshanrapha

its really weird that she was required to talk to her family about this as if we owe family members our organs.

I dont think its an "owe" thing.

I had been reading this whole thread and it never even occurred to me that one of MY family members would even need one my kidneys.

the bit where it said they were required to talk to their family about it makes it seem like the organs are owed to the family and they have to sign off on you giving the organs away.

Which feels absurd, if it was just a matter of making the patient aware their organs could be used for family they could just state that in the disclaimers.
