最近一女子为陌生人捐了一个肾,引发热议,很多人表示不理解,你怎么看?
An Arizona woman who donated a kidney to a complete stranger said it was the most gratifying thing she has ever done, even though she’s never met the recipient. Beth Ramirez, who felt a calling to help someone in need after her own daughter was diagnosed with an illness two years ago, went under the knife in February.
一位亚利桑那州的妇女给一个完全不认识的人捐了一个肾,尽管她从未见过这位受捐者,但她说这是她有史以来做过的最令人高兴的事情。贝丝.拉米雷斯的女儿两年前被诊断出患有一种疾病后,她就有强烈感觉要帮助有需要的人。
While she couldn’t help her child through organ donation, she had read an article on living donors and felt compelled to do something.
虽然她无法通过器官捐赠来帮助她的孩子,但她读过一篇关于活体捐赠者的文章,并感到有必要做些什么。
Ramirez told Fox 10 Phoenix: “I had people say to me, ‘Why would you do this? Why would you do this? What if your daughter needs a kidney?’ or ‘What if your loved ones need a kidney?’”
拉米雷斯告诉凤凰台福克斯10频道:“有人问我:‘你为什么要这样做? 你为什么要这么做?如果你的女儿需要肾呢?’或者‘如果你的亲人需要肾呢?’”
But Ramirez said after working with the Banner University Medical Center, the only thought in her mind was, “why would you not?”
但拉米雷斯说,在与班纳大学医疗中心合作后,她脑海中唯一的想法是:“为什么不呢?”
While her recipient has remained anonymous, Ramirez said there is a chance they may meet for the first time in the coming weeks. Ramirez returned to work after a three-week recovery and also said she would do it again “in a heartbeat” if she could.
拉米雷斯说,虽然她的受捐人没有透露姓名,但他们有可能在接下来几周内首次见面。拉米雷斯在经历三周的康复后重返工作岗位,她还表示,如果可以的话,她会“立刻”再这样做一次。
“The only thing that you need is a willing heart and a little bit of time,” she told Fox 10 Phoenix.
拉米雷斯告诉凤凰台福克斯10频道:“你唯一需要的是一颗心甘情愿的心和一点点时间。”
