Yes, I would be interested to hear this as well. Still don't understand how they got away with charging you more for AB+ blood. There simply is no other blood type that is easier to match, even though it is indeed the rarest blood type.

Certain individuals are on a mission from God to make sure that transplant organs are not available. One woman has devoted her life to this pursuit. Best of luck with your search.

What does this mean?

TO ALL INTERESTED PERSONS:

Anyone who is interested in learning more, or possibly contacting, Lifeline Procurement and Exchange may contact me via email at batonrouge@ymail.com

I met a potential donor today and I must admit that my initial skepticism has been put to ease. This company is very much for real. The potential donor and I spoke on the phone for nearly 2 hours today and I have invited her to my home to sit with me and talk more with me and my family. She seems to be a genuinely kind person with no hidden agenda, just a desire to help someone who wants to live. I'll keep you posted.

No, this is not the same company, Sluff.  Lifeline of Ohio is a nonprofit designated by the Department of Health and Human Services to promote and coordinate organ and tissue donation in central and southeastern Ohio.  The buying and selling of organs is illegal, and is an offense punishable by law.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know, Rachel.

I think it's safe to say that this Rich person is a total con artist. He is trying to sell his kidney and I highly doubt there is any Lifeline Procurement. He is lying.

A quick google search of his email address yielded this:

A+ Kidney available - Healthy male donor
started by Richard 1 month ago
I am a healthy male with A+ blood. I live in the U.S. and would like to offer my kidney for generous exchange. Please email me: batonrouge@ymail.com

The I started reading this thread I thought it would be slammed as fake right away.. I was going to say that it sounded like this guy worked for this sham shack.  Even if they gave you 75% of your fee back, they'd still get a good chunk of change for doing absolutely nothing.  Richard appears to be a fake, and it made me sick that he accepted everyone's well-wishes.  What a bunch of tripe!  Hmpf! 

you know what it reminds me of, though?  Some of the adoption places we talked to before I got worse and we put things on hold.  The commercialism of it all is downright creepy.
