This is one of the most common myths about kidney donation. In reality, kidneys from living donors often last longer and work better than those from deceased donors.
Living kidney donation is also incredibly safe. Thousands of people each year choose to donate a kidney and go on to live long, healthy lives. In fact, many living donors say they would donate again if they could.
