I've decided to up the stakes.
As of May 2008 there are more than 76,000 people waiting for a kidney transplant, and that number increases daily. Yet, in 2007 there were only 10,587 kidneys donated from deceased donors, and something like 6,000 from living ones.
How good are you at math?
That's nearly 60,000 people who still need new kidneys. And that's in the United States alone.
Average wait time during 2006 for a kidney patient in BC was 80.4 months or 6.7 Years, some people wait as long as 8-10 years, and some won't survive that wait.
I'm going to give someone my kidney.
From what I can tell, this is the way to go in my province, but I'll look in to it more.
In America, check out this link. More on this later.
