Donating a portion of your liver to someone in need is a selfless and life-saving act, but it is not something you can do for financial gain. Living liver donation is a major surgical procedure that involves removing a portion of the donor's healthy liver to transplant into the recipient. The donor's remaining liver will regenerate and regain full function over several months.
While the recipient's insurance typically covers all medical expenses related to the donation, including the evaluation, surgery, and any necessary follow-up care, there is no financial compensation provided to the donor. Liver donation is considered a gift of life, and the act of donating is intended to be altruistic, not monetized. The satisfaction of saving someone's life and the knowledge that you have made a profound difference is the true reward for liver donors. Any attempts to profit from organ donation are unethical and illegal in most countries.
