Dr Danovitch's daughter Yael attended my elementary school.She just graduate from UC Berkeley.Just wanted to say that.Dr. Danovicth spoke to CNN back in August 2009 about the subject of organ donor.

Advances in the field of kidney transplantion prove the effectiveness of providing non-evasive procedures to encourage kidney donation. Many ppl don't appeal to kidney donation becuz most aren't aware that

1. They have 2 kidneys

2. Removal is less painful and drastic

3. Moral: Ultimately, they are extending life

For some, organ donation is too great of a psychological nuisance. And, one shouldn't be quick to judge. They must reaffirmed, n'even then-its not garanteed.

My brother was too scared to even consider giving me a kidney. I would never assume anyone should give me a kidney because everyone deals with things differently. One potential donor might be too scared of any complications afterwards or complications even during surgery where as others might just think "it is the right thing to do! You don't even need to ask!" .. I knew a man who stopped talking to his brother because his brother wouldn't give him a kidney. That isn't right neither.

i disagree. my sister refused to give me a kidney. she said things like i dont want a scar, god didnt tell me to do it. that bs. i dont talk to her notbecause she didnt give me one, but that she decieved me and lied about her blood type. then when i told her she can give me one despite the blood type, sbhe still refused. if someone, especially a sibling, refuses, there is somehting wrong.

@shinesthrudarain don't take your sisters attitude to personally..its her decision at the end of the day its something you can't force her to do...what would happen if she gave you that kidney and she got renal failure?i ..they got there own lives to live and if they refuse me i will accept that ..and that a beautiful machine is keeping you alive...if a transplant comes it comes but don't wait on it...just be happi for what is now....

@sissleify well if someone gives a kidney and they get kidney failure, they automatically go to the topof the list. so, your logic is fallacious. i dont think youj know what sacrificial love is
