Well, I'm about to be checked if I am a match for my son as regards being a living donor and to give him one of my kidneys.
Apparently, kidney donation is like lottery numbers. His kidneys effectively have a range of numbers, if I have the same range, or am close to it, then it makes things a lot lot easier. They also have to check blood tissue maps, blood groupings, the whole lot.
But life without him isn't worth it, I really believe it. He has a high quality of life, despite his medical problems, and I'm not going to let him die if there is a chance that I can give him X more years.
