An amazing article in the Sunday, February 19, 2012 NY Times describes the development and implementation of renal transplant chains that criss-cross America and hold promise for saving lives of persons with end-stage-renal-disease (ESRD). Imagine... What if this wer global? Instead of fighting over ideologies we could all work towards the same goal.
This is a long article, but it is a glimpse into a bright future.
