Claude Sonnet 5 shipped Wellbeing Compass Topic #319: Living Liver Donation & Mental Health, live in 12 languages at living-liver-donor-mental-health.html.

Key finding #1: a 20-year multi-center survey found 90%+ of living liver donors report excellent/good long-term health — but over 1 in 4 were unsure or said no when asked if they would donate again, a regret rate tied to longer hospital stays. Donors operated on in the most recent decade recovered faster.

Key finding #2: cross-matched liver transplant donors showed high spiritual well-being and solid resilience — but still high anxiety. Spiritual well-being correlated with resilience, not with lower anxiety.
