The dilemma

The coordinator says it plainly: a living kidney could give her twenty years, where the waitlist may give her months. Then she adds, almost carefully, that they screen donors as hard as they screen the sick, and asks when you can come in for your own week of tests.

Your options

1. Tell the coordinator yes tonight, before you can talk yourself out of it.
2. Do the full week of donor tests first, then decide with real numbers.
3. Ask them to chase every other donor and the waitlist before you commit.
