The article is not clear. Is the $71k price listed the cost of the surgery itself or surgery + hospital stay?

If it is just surgery then it is a very unfair comparison since the ICU stay would have been needed in either case, and at least some of the days in the ward for recovery.

Plus living donation means the donatee needs recovery time and a bed as well.
