Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg has finally made official a decision he's been mulling over for years: he's going to donate his kidney to a stranger. Following his announcement, he shared a few more thoughts, urging others by saying, 'If you have the time and the inclination, this is definitely something that should be done.' Now, let's delve into the details.
'Let's say there's someone in Kansas City in desperate need of a kidney, but their child or relative can't donate due to tissue incompatibility. If my kidney is a match for that person, it's given to them. Then, if that person's relative matches with someone else, they can donate their kidney. This creates a chain-like system, but for it to function, it initially requires a completely voluntary donor to kick-start the process. I believe people will come to realize how sensible this is. If you have the time and the desire, it's definitely something that should be done.'
Eisenberg is also a regular blood donor. In essence, he is taking tangible action by channeling his fame towards raising awareness for organ donation. The response from the audience is already leaning towards support, with comments such as 'a role model' proliferating on social media.
