UK: Experience: "I gave a kidney to a stranger"

"Giving your kidney to a complete stranger is still rare – so far, only 25 volunteers have been approved. But more than two years on, I feel every bit as healthy with one kidney as I did with two. I've had no sense of anticlimax, nor am I wandering around in a haze of self-satisfaction, but I do feel good about what I've done. We live in an unfair world, where health and happiness aren't evenly distributed, and I've had more than my fair share. My act was simply to redress the balance a little."
