Lets just take it from a Kidney patients point of view who has been waiting for more than 6 years and the different Major Hospitals have the same line oh you should receive a Kidney/Pancreas in about 1 year. Well I think they get your hopes up and shoot them down. My wife has been on 1 list for 6 years and we know of 1 young minority that has had 2 transplants and she is not even 25 yet.  The last transplant failed for her and she has decided to just get dialysis. I think if their are living people who want to sell their organs would help the wait time on the others and not make the list so burdensome. I know of the Amway CEO who needed a Heart He went to Europe to get it. I am sure he paid for it.
