Would it be fairly easy to find a kidney donor?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46828points) March 30th, 2015

A good friend of my husbands has been diagnosed with kidney cancer. They have to take the kidney out. However, he was born with only one kidney so he’s going to need a donor. Until he finds one he has to spend hours, every three days, in dialysis. He’s saying he’s going to refuse to do that (but we’ll see.)
Since everyone has two kidneys, but really only needs one, do you think a kidney would be fairly easy to come by?
