（16-22题共用题干） Spare a Kidney?
It is no longer unusual for a spouse or relative to donate a kidney to a loved one,but the number of Americans who have given a kidney to a friend,a co-worker or even a complete stranger has risensharply from68 in1994 t0176 in1998.
There are many reasons. First,it's possible to livc a normal life with only one kidney.( The remai-ning kidney enlarges to make up most of the difference.) In addition a kidney from a live donor lastsJonger than a kidney taken from someone who has died suddenly. But the biggest change in the pastfew years is that transplant surgeons have started using laparoscopic techniques to remove the donorkidney through a much smaller incision,and this can cut recovery time for the donor from six weeks tofour weeks.
Just because you do something, however,it doesn't mean you should. Donating a kidney means undergoing an operation that carries some risk.You could argue that you may be helping to save a life,but you certainly can't pretend that you're better off with one kidney instead of two. So,what are the risks? \with any major operation, there is a chance of dying,of reoperation
due to bleeding,of infection,of vein clots in the legs or a hernia at the incision,\Dr. Arthur Ma-tas, director of the renal-transplant program at the university of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneap-olis. Even laparoscopy,a relatively new techriique for kidney donation,is not risk-free. Doctors estimatethat chances of dying from the procedure are about3 in10,000.
There's no money to be made; selling an organ is illegal. But the recipient's insurance normally covers your operation and immediate aftercare. Your costs can include hotel bills,lost pay during recovery or possible future disability.
Although transplant centers must evaluate any potential donor's suitability,it never hurts to have an independent opinion. The most common contraindications（禁忌征候）are heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Never let anyone,not even a close relative,pressure you into giving up an organ-no matter if you're healthy. \dothis,\says Arthus Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania's center for Bioethics. Sometransplant centers will invent a\problem\on behalf of those who are reluctant to donate butfeel they can't say no.
