Sorry to hear about all that :(

I hope that it all works out in the end.

Please add me to your kidney list.

BTW, FYI, here are some waitlist numbers:

Organ National
Kidney 62,243
Liver 17,392
Pancreas 1,702
Kidney/Pancreas 2,452
Heart 3,137
Lung 3,601
Heart/Lung 168
Intestine 200
Total 88,388


I think it is terrible that the Federal govenrment prevents contracting for organs in a pro market way. A general rule is that whenever there is a shortage of something people are willing to pay for it is caused by government.

Why shouldn't someone who donates their organs get finacially compensated? Who is the Federal government to condemn all these folks to the wait list. What a shame!
