Title: Should younger patients get better kidney's
Post by: Hazmat35 on February 25, 2011, 04:45:18 AM

I saw this on ABC news last night (2-24-11).  It is how the rating system is might be changed so that younger patients get a matched kidney over older patients who are a match also, regardless of how long they have been waiting for a transplant. 

There is an article on the website, as well as a video of the broadcast.
