Kidneys: A Modest Poll

Let me ask you, Intrepids: how many degrees of separation would you be willing to consider to donate a kidney?

Me, I'm a one degree of separation kind of guy on this one. And that is a very, very, very restricted degree, I may add. You'd better be sharing some serious DNA with me before I cast off one of my pee-filters.

Now, harvesting a kidney? That's a different story entirely. I'm willing to go 10, 12 degrees of separation on that one. Especially if Thanksgiving is tomorrow, my in-laws are on their way, and the mouth-breathers at Publix have given my kidney pie to some obstreperous bitch in a red hat and purple dress just to get her out of their face.

Perhaps I am too rigid in my thoughts here. Vous?
