I've recently decided to perform an undirected liver donation and have the support of my wife and kids. I can't really explain why, but it seems an obvious thing to do, in my opinion helping others is kinda' the whole meaning in life...
As a parent, my father is understandably reluctant; Given the invasiveness of the procedure and length of the recovery i probably would be hesitant in his shoes as well. He and others just don't seem to understand or support the decision and i struggle to justify it to them. They think it's crazy and something too risky and impactful to consider.
Obviously my perspective on the matter is slanted and limited, i'm seeking outside perspective (hopefully supportive, but not necessarily), and perhaps some help in more successfully explaining to others why it's okay to do.
