Would you bring yourself to donate an organ to a relative/friend who needs it?

Most people are afraid of suregries. But if you knew that your friend/relative needs an organ which you could donate since it is compatible, and this could save his life, would you manage to get yourself to go through the fear and pain of the surgery to help him?

I would only give an organ to my mother or father. If it was anyone else, I would not do it. My father and mother have raised me, and they have put a lot of time, love, money, and effort into my upbringing, so they are the only ones who would deserve it in my life.

If i could help a friend or relative by donating a needed organ, i would do it. Helping to preserve someone's life would be worth the effort and sacrifice. @joey_matthews (8354)

I would only do this for a family member, this might sound harsh to a friend but I wouldn't expect them to do the same for me. It's really something that family should do if they can help it and I wouldn't donate any part of myself unless it was for a family member because I have a strong feeling about this after seeing organs illegally taken from one of my relatives.
There's certain ways I would be happy to help but organs isn't one of them and neither is money. This is just me though and I don't mean to sound harsh.

As i sit here and answer this question i think of all my friends, none of which need a organ, so I can say right now it feels like i would.... However when push comes to shove, I'm not sure. does that make me a bad person? I think about it this way sometimes, ever see SAW? when those movies open and they have a person sitting in one of those contraptions and a way to live and of course a way to die. could you get the key for the bear trap around your neck as it rest behind your eye socket? you wanna THINK you could, but again, ask i reach for the back of my neck, just to make sure....no bear trap. So, Hell yeah, I could do it....yikes!
