My friend recently donated his kidney to his brother.
Very nice gesture on his part.

But Now I look article By ALEX DOMINGUEZ "Md. surgeons remove donated kidney through vagina" - Mon,Feb 2 and I can't believe it. Can it be true, that surgeons removed a woman's kidney through her vagina so she could give it to her ailing niece, an unusual operation they hope will encourage others to donate because it reduces pain, scarring and recovery time. Doctors at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine said donor Kimberly Johnson, 48, and her niece, Jennifer Gilbert, 23, were both doing well following operations Thursday.

"It was easier than childbirth," said Johnson, who has three children. Incredible! I doubt it!!
