i don’t even have any first cousins lmao. i ain’t devoting my kidney to someone who’s at best imaginary and at worst a scammer

#18586

oh thats true
i may do it for money reasons
does that make me a bad person
probably
but also
i have a kidney
i like having two
i need compensation for giving up one

so i in fact have LESS obligation to donate my kidney to a cousin

#18590

yeah, something along those lines

also my attitude towards donating to charity, like as point of fact I don’t donate my entire discretionary budget to charity but I do set a minimum percentage and donate at minimum that much [to charities that I’ve done more than 15 seconds of research about, before anyone raises the ‘what if you’re getting scammed’ objection]
