I was lucky enough that I'm not in that number anymore. It makes me sad to think of all those people waiting. I want more people to agree to be donors.

I wish they would allow compensation for kidneys with a CAP of $5000 or so. IF it were regulated it could work and bring 90,000+ people on the list almost down to ZERO!

With 310 million in this nation it's inexcusable that more isn't being done!

I would agree with you there should be more donors and more would receive a transplant.....,for some reason people have stopped talking about donors....
