A grandniece of mine lost kidney function at 9 months of age. She was on dialysis from then 'til she got a cadaver transplant 2 years ago. Since her condition was caused from genetics on both sides of her family no one in the family was eligible as donors. She is now a (short) thriving 17 year old, driving and participating in life to it's fullest. Her having that condition has really raised awareness in our family on the importance of being an organ donor and everyone one of us has that designation on ou driver's licenses/state id's. I think it's awesome that someone would be willing to give a total stranger an integral part of their body so that person could live longer. Not sure I'm that awesome.
