[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^^^^^^^^^^^^sigh. [b]we have already established that the family wants to get a family or friend, ADULT, a LIVING donor to donate[/b]. So there is no poor, normal, more "worthwhile" child who will be passed over because said family or friend wouldn't be donating to them. So no, no other kid would die while this little worthless "retarded" child got her kidney.[/quote] In all that I've read to date on this subject, I've never seen the family specify that they are planning on using an adult. If they were, I'm not sure they would be at CHOP because the transplanting of adult kidneys into children is a new thing and I've not seen anywhere that says CHOP has such a program. [/quote] [b]From CHOP's own site, they will not allow donors under 18. Quoted above. [/b] Also quoted above many children get kidneys from parents, it is not "experimental." [/quote]
