PAH! In my day students' kidneys would have been almost worthless due to overuse. You could really have cleaned up by selling your liver to Sellafield though as some sort of backup generator!

It's also much better to have a live donor so that the kidney doesn't start to degrade. Also there is no rush in terms of a kidney becoming available. The donor and the recipient can be notified well in advance as to when the op is going to take place.
The effects on the donor are not great though as they instantly lose 50% of their kidney function. When my mother in law gave hers up, she opted for keyhole surgery. There was a risk that they could damage her spleen, which they did, so she had to have that removed also!

The average saving to the NHS of a kidney transplantation vs dialysis is very approx.£200,000 over 10 years. Perhaps there should be a Dutch auction.

They'd be better off leasing out their 'spare' kidney. Get a similar price, and can reclaim it back if they need it later, plus compo for any damage due to neglect.
Maybe they could also sell their heart and get a plastic one.
This whole idea is going to lead to people selling rights to their grandparents organs. An evolution of the donor system. Where there's profit there's a plan B.
