Reading about Rob's happy transplant news, I heard about matchingdonors.com for the first time.  I looked at the website and I'm not sure what to make of it.  It's great that it was helpful to Rob, and it certainly does inspire hope, but I don't know how I feel about signing up for something like that.  How does it work?  Do you just sign up and hope someone comes along and thinks you would be worth saving?  How would it work in parallel with an UNOS listing?  Has anyone else signed up, or does anyone have any thoughts about this website?
