And it's about overcoming your shame and thinking that privacy is really nice, but you will die in privacy. And that if you don't want to do it, that's okay, but let the people around you do it for you.

I mean, the donor, what you experience is you feel like you've given life to someone. And by the way, you live perfectly well with one kidney. So it's really when the most important moment about the donor is that at Mount Sinai, they have every year a gathering of the donors, liver donors, kidney donors.

We happen to know ours, but all of the other people, sometimes it's strangers who just one day appear like angels. And you watch these people, these unsung heroes, and you just shut the up because, you know. I don't know if I would do it. This is the thing. Would I have done this? Have I known people?

I think that everything you just said is part of your question. It's part of the answer to the question, you know, how does one prepare oneself to be in a relationship?
