What Makes Someone Make A Living Donation?
Donate An Organ While Still Alive
Motivation for donating an organ while alive-- being alive to see the results of your donation. Although one may have a sense of peace from knowing that after one's death, someone will benefit, nothing beats meeting the person you donate to.
-- Ultimate form of Philantrophy
There are some who donate money and there are some who donate body parts while alive - the ultimate sacrifice.
