Have most of the researchers looking at kidney donation donated a kidney?
People mostly do not do prosocial things for zero direct benefit. Donating a kidney is hard and time consuming, setting aside any negative health effects from the surgery itself. Add on top of that the intense moral and social scrutiny that people receive for making this decision, and that’s quite sufficient to me to explain why the people who claim kidney donation is safe largely don’t elect to do this.
