I found out today that you can donate a part of your liver whilst you are still alive. The part you donate regrows in 1-3 months time and there shouldn’t be any long term negative effects.
I am considering trying to do this but I think the main reason I am considering this isn’t really to help the recipient but to make myself feel better about myself.
You can’t undo the mistakes of the past but maybe doing something good can balance the books and make up for doing bad things and that could offer me some redemption.
The small risk that I might die doesn’t bother me, in fact, I think of all the ways one can die, dying trying to save someone else seems like a really good ending to me, one that I could be proud of.
So, is it still doing good even if the motivation is selfish? Is this something I should try and do?
