Just to make the point explicit that I think you are implying with this post: kidney donation is not an optimal source of QALY's if you can make more than $400 in two weeks (the recovery time of the surgery) at your normal job.
If you lived in the UK you could take this up another notch: take those two weeks out of your statutory paid holiday time, so you can make your full salary even as you donate a kidney!
I would take a cut of $400 in annual take-home pay to get another two weeks of paid vacation.
Yes, but stronger: if you would rather give $400 than a kidney (and the kidney donation process sounds at least $400 worth of unpleasant to me), you should do so and not feel at all guilty about it.
