The Kidney Donor's Journey: 100 Questions I Asked Before Donating My Kidney

Why would a healthy young rabbi give his kidney to a total stranger? Dr. Ari Sytner, PhD, LCSW, asked himself that question for a full year. On one side sat his wife, his four children, and every rational reason to say no. On the other sat a single mother of three who would die without a transplant. The Kidney Donor's Journey is the true story of what happened between those two sides: the research, the fears, the family conversations, the surgery, and the answer he finally gave. Told through the 100 real questions Ari asked before deciding, this is not a lecture on organ donation. It is an honest, sometimes funny, deeply human look at what it costs to save a life, and what it gives back. Some of the questions include: How do I tell my family? How risky is the surgery? Can I back out if I change my mind? Do I get to meet the recipient? Will I regret my decision later on? Can anyone be a donor? Whether you are considering donation yourself, supporting a loved one through a transplant, or drawn to true stories of ordinary people making extraordinary choices, this book will move you, challenge you, and stay with you. A powerful choice for book clubs and faith communities exploring what kindness truly demands. Read the journey. Then ask yourself what one life is worth.
