  This device would be a game changer. 10's maybe 100's of thousands would sign up for it as soon as it hit the market. I know I would be one of them!

You mean no relatives or friends fodmskme has to lose a kidney?  Sweet!. Just like that Repomen movie I didn't watch (which my brother referenced at my transplant evaluation, lol)!

Keeping my eyes open....and also for the kidney in a jar that they grow from my own stem cells (or however that works).  That, kids, would be sweet if it worked...

I think I'd rather a clone, unless I'd have to have a whole body clone, like in The Island.

Unless you mean "cooler," because it's a cyborg kidney, which is pretty cool. :thumbed;

You know what they need to work on?  A way to prevent or somehow dissolve scar tissue.  Yeah....that would help out in a lot of ways, I think,  at least for me.  I could have babies post-transplant then!
