It’s rare for anyone to donate a kidney, and most of the time, the organ goes to someone close to the donor, like a spouse, a sibling or a parent.
Altruistic kidney donation — the kind Lane did — is when you give the organ to a complete stranger.
That kind of gift is even rarer, so much so that lots of people question the motives of the donor.
Lane herself went through a rigorous screening to become eligible for the procedure.
Along the way, she learned the history of kidney donation and met others who’ve made the choice to give a kidney to someone they’d never know or meet.
Again and again, she encountered the same idea: It’s not a question of why anyone would give away a kidney, it’s why wouldn’t you?
Penny Lane joins us to talk about her film.
We’re screening “Confessions of a Good Samaritan” in partnership with the Utah Film Center on Wednesday, March 11, at 7 p.m.
