Spare a Kidney?
It is no longer unusual for a spouse or relative to donate a kidney t0 a loved one, but the number of Americans who have given a kidney to a friend, a co-worker or even a complete stranger has risen sharply from 68 in 1994 to 176 in 1998.
There are many reasons. First, it’s possible to live a normal life with only one kidney. (The remaining kidney enlarges to make up most of the difference.)In addition a kidney from a live donor lasts longer than a kidney taken from someone who has died suddenly. But the biggest change in the past few years is that transplant surgeons have started using 1aparoscopic techniques to remove the donor kidney through a much smaller incision, and this can cut recovery time for the donor from six weeks to four weeks.
Just because you do something, however, it doesn’t mean you should, Donating a kidney means under- going an operation that carries some risk. You could argue that you may be helping to save a life, but you certainly can’t pretend that you’re better off with one kidney instead of two.
So, what are the risks? “As with any major operation, there is a chance of dying, of reoperation due to bleeding,Of infection,Of vein clots in the legs Or a hernia at the incision,”says Dr.Arthur Matas,director of the renal-transplant program at the university of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis. Even laparoscopy, a relatively new technique for kidney donation, is not risk-free. Doctors estimate that chances of dying from the procedure are about 3 in 10,000.
There’s no money to be made; selling an organ is illegal. But the recipient’s insurance normally covers your operation and immediate aftercare. Your costs can include hotel bills, lost pay during recovery or possible future disability.
Although transplant centers must evaluate any potential donor’s suitability, it never hurts to have an independent opinion. The most common contraindications(禁忌征候)are heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Never let anyone, not even a close relative, pressure you into giving up an organ—no matter if you’re healthy. "There’s often the feeling that you’re not a good friend, father, mother if you don’t do this," says Arthus Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania’s center for Bioethics. Some transplant centers will invent a "medical problem" on behalf of those who are reluctant to donate but feel they can’t say no.
17. Why the number of kidney donors has risen is that one is better off with one kidney instead of two.
选项
A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案
B
解析
关键词为is better off with one kidney instead of two。根据常识判断该句的说法不合理,所以可以直接判断“错误”。进一步依据关键词,在文章第三段找到相关语句:…but you certainly can’t pretend that you’re better off with one kidney instead of two.该句意思是:你显然不能假称一只肾脏比有两只肾脏更好,该句的说法与问题句的说法不一致,故此题为“错误”的。
