Please visit my website for some exciting new information on the development of replacement kidneys.

While use for humans is far off, it seems like a very positive step in the right direction.

I read about that the other day.  It looks quite promising.  I'm even willing to volunteer myself if they ever get into human trials.  I don't see myself as having much to lose.   I'm already on dialysis and probably will be for the foreseeable future, and the chances of a donated kidney seem slim to none.

Riki, I'm with you.  I'll be lined up to be a volunteer when the technology reaches that stage.

I don't figure I have much to lose.. I'm on dialysis indefinitely, possibly permanently.. if it doesn't work, I'll just go back to what I'm doing
