Here's Looking at You, Kidney
How and why I became an organ donor -- and how I kept people from talking me out of it.

Until last November, I'd never thought about being a kidney donor. I hadn't known anyone with kidney disease, and like most people, I hadn't filled out an organ donation form when I'd gotten my driver's license. I'd never even donated blood. That all changed after I ran into a friend and asked, "How's Sally?" I got an unexpected answer: "She's. . . all right," in a tone that made it clear she was most definitely not all right.
Sally Satel and I have been friends since 1997. . . .
