There are not enough kidneys to go around

Demand for kidney transplants is considerably higher than for any other organ. At the start of 2014, nearly 100,000 people in the United States were on the waiting list to have a kidney transplant. In recent years, only about 11,000 deceased-donor kidney transplants were performed annually in the United States. Each year another approximately 5,800 kidney transplants were made possible by living donors.

Organ donors make miracles happen!

Recycle yourself, become an organ donor.

Committee decided who should live on dialysis. 1965 documentary

A quote from the 1965 NBC documentary entitled "Who Shall Live?" narrated by Edwin Newman. In those early days of dialysis technology, only a few patients could be treated, and even then at great cost. The demand greatly exceeded the capacity to treat patients, and some means of selection was needed. The highly controversial decision-making process had anonymous committee members deliberating over the merits of each case. 

The documentary examined the troubling questions underlying decisions by the committee. 

Should patients with children get priority? 

Those who went to church? 

Those who had the most productive jobs?
Here's the video of the documentary on YouTubehttp://youtu.be/FMay5zw1loA
