Juan Mann - Hugs and kidneys

Juan Mann - Free Hugs

Juan Mann - Free Hugs

You may have read in the recent newspapers that Juan Mann of the “Free Hugs” fame is offering one of his kidneys. I had a long conversation about this with him today. I am not so certain that a healthy young man should give his kidney away. It is one thing to be on donors list and another to remove an organ for no other reason than charity. Juan naturally holds a very different view and he will be producing a documentary on the subject. He was telling me how vastly different the initial reaction to his offering are: from well wishers to “go and die since you don’t care for your life” all in one day.

Juan Mann is pictured here with a couple of promotion women from Cirque de Soleil. They have introduced themselves as “performing ushers”.
