Скачать или смотреть We Gave Our Kidneys to Strangers. What Do We Have in Common?

Living kidney donors who choose to gift their kidneys to strangers have a great deal in common.
At the 2022 National Kidney Donation Organization meeting, some of us share what characteristics we may all share.

Dialysis costs $95,000+ per year per patient.
Each kidney transplant saves the government $145,000.
The kidney shortage kills 100+ people die each day & 40,000 each year .
90,000 people are waiting for a kidney.
Living donors provide 6,000 kidneys each year.
Want more kidney donors?
Pay our expenses. It's a lifesaving bargain.

93% of organ donors need to pay $2,000-$10,000 in order to donate. So in addition to the physical pain and extensive time it takes to donate, donation is expensive for the one who gives. Only 7% of donors are reimbursed.
Support making organ donation cost neutral for organ donors.
The government should pay our expenses. It's a lifesaving bargain.
