Would YOU?

Jocko Gold, who had suffered kidney complications due to hypertension, was spending three hours every other day on a hemodialysis machine and needed a transplant.
Boeing Fabrication employee Jim Kakuschke walked up to his co-worker one cold winter day a year and a half ago and offered up his kidney to the ailing numerical control operator.

They both work at Boeing's Auburn, WA. plant....but so do 1,000 other people. The two had known each other only as acquaintances attending the same lunches and union meetings.

"I believe that prayers are answered, but for Jim to offer up part of his body to me was amazing," said Gold, a 14-year Boeing employee.
Kakuschke, who has worked at Boeing 18 years, remains humble about his donation. "I heard about Jocko's plight and felt like I could help him," he explained.
Personally I find this story incredible. I don't think I could do that for what amounts to a stranger.
You never know what the future holds and you might need that kidney yourself.
Kakuschke, being a biker, has even more reason to be concerned about his kidneys.
Would you do this?
