AlsoPaisleyCat‘The Gosling Effect’ isn’t about Ryan, the Canadian actor.It’s about the power of altruism, and the impact of Kevin Gosling, an ordinary Canadian who made a decision to make an anonymous donation of a part of his liver. His persistence changed the health care system and the way unrelated organ donors are viewed.He is however an uncle to Ryan, in the very large Gosling extended family.A comprehensive feature from The Ottawa Citizen reports on the transformative impact of Kevin Gosling and the others donors for whom he cleared the path.‘A total of 2,936 organ transplants were performed in Canada in 2022. Eighty per cent of those transplants used deceased donor organs and 20 per cent used living donor organs. Fifty-two per cent of those living donors were related to the recipient. Forty-eight per cent were unrelated. . .. . . And yet, outside of Canada, there is still a lack of understanding of how someone can be willing to give part of their organ to a complete stranger.Dr. Nazia Selzner, who is the medical director of the live donor liver transplantation program at UHN, said she is frequently asked when he travels the world: “What is wrong with these people that they want to help someone else and go through a major surgery?”’<a href="https://ottawacitizen.com/feature/the-gosling-effect" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ottawacitizen.com/feature/the-gosling-effect</a><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Altruism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Altruism</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Good" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Good</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/GoodDeeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoodDeeds</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/GoodNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoodNews</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/RyanGosling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RyanGosling</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/OrganDonors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OrganDonors</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/OrganDonation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OrganDonation</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/HealthCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HealthCare</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Liver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Liver</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Kidney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kidney</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/HealthCareSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HealthCareSystem</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Caring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Caring</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Altruistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Altruistic</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Selflessness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Selflessness</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Kindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kindness</a>

As an non-terminable public servant, my egoistic motivation suggests that I should call in sick even when only mildly impaired. But my altruistic appreciation of the wellfare of my colleagues👇

Ralph BrookerI have seen two films in which an astronaut outside the vessel is lost to his crew (and the audience if you’re in deep enough). Both are <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/altruistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#altruistic</a> acts. Clooney in ‘Gravity’ and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SharltoCopley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SharltoCopley</a> in the highly-underrated <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EuropaReport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EuropaReport</a>’. Both drift finally from their craft in an act of self-sacrifice. In the latter film especially, though the act takes up far less of the story than in ‘Gravity’, Copley’s character seems briefly so much more human than Clooney’s. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Death" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Death</a>
