Kidney donation involves minimally invasive surgery. Still, the act of giving an organ to a complete stranger requires an uncommon level of generosity, one that qualifies as extraordinary altruism.
Research says these people have a larger amygdala, perhaps making them feel others' pain more than the average person.
Renee Bruens, upon seeing a sign asking for a kidney, felt compelled to act, demonstrating that profound altruism often arises from a moment of connection.
Convincing those around her was the hardest part for Bruens. She initially felt compelled to donate, but it took time to gain her family's support.
