Healthy people choose not to donate a kidney and be a living donor for varying reasons. Who am I to question their reasons? I certainly would not label them as "non-Christian," and, although I was a living donor and I am a caregiver to a husband who needs another transplant, I remember the verse from the Bible that states, "Judge not -- lest ye be judged."
You also have to take into account that most people are not AWARE of any of this, the needs, etc. I know, because I was one of those people until very recently. I knew nothing. No one has ever asked me about organ donation. All I knew was that it was an option on my drivers license. Call me dumb......but I believe people in general do not truly understand needs until they are made aware of them. OK, so now you can call me dumb AND optimistic, but I think most people would be donors if made aware of the great need. I would love to see ministers preach on this subject. And the donor stamp re-issued. And big posters on the walls when you get your license renewed. And pamphlets given out right before your driving test, etc. And speakers who go to the schools.
Same here. I don't want anyone to feel they "have" to donate a kidney. It is a supremely generous and selfless gift but pressure or guilt of any kind should play no role whatsoever in it.
