"Why do you have to be an ethnic minority [in this situation]? Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) are 'markers' on the white blood cells. These antigens are inherited characteristics, just as is the color of one's eyes and hair or skin. In a tissue transplant, the closer the match in HLA type between the donor and the recipient, the greater the chance that the transplant will be successful. Due to these genetic factors, patients have the best chance of finding a donor who is the same racial background."

Please spread the word by reposting this video. Your help is greatly needed as well as appreciated.
