Congratulations!
The article does a very good job, I think, in explaining the whole process, and I do believe that more people would donate if they knew more about it.
However I think the article has two deficiencies;
--- It makes the misleading statement that if the donor ever needs to receive a kidney transplant he/she would go to "the top of the list". With regard to receiving a kidney from a deceased donor, a living donor receives several "points" which move him/her higher up on the waiting list, but not necessarily to "the top". Whether the National Kidney Registry has a policy of placing past donors on the "top of the list" to receive from a living donor is something I don't know (but would be interested in finding out.)
--- The article is VERY weak on explaining the small but genuine risks involved for the donor. A few kidney donors have died from the surgery, and others continue to suffer long-term health complications (and have shared their stories at this site). I think that any article promoting living donation and sharing the wonderful success stories also should be clear about the genuine risks involved.
Thanks very much for sharing the link.
