Kidney donation is the process of a person allowing a kidney to be removed from their body and transplanted to another person, usually to treat kidney failure. Kidney donation has been argued to be a highly effective way to increase human health.
A number of individuals involved with the effective altruism community or adjacent to it have donated a kidney, including Alexander Berger,[1] Jeremiah Johnson,[2] Zell Kravinsky,[3] Dylan Matthews,[4] Michael Page,[5] and others.[6]
