The U.S. transplant system needs an overhaul to stop wasting organs and give more patients a fair chance at the life-saving surgery, says an influential scientific advisory panel that set a five-year deadline to turn things around.
More than 106,000 patients are on the nation’s list for a transplant from a deceased donor, and at least 17 die every day waiting. Many more who could benefit from a transplant never get put on the waiting list, particularly people of color, the report stressed.
“While the transplant system does a lot of good things and saves a lot of lives, it is demonstrably inequitable and doesn’t work for enough people,” Dr. Kenneth Kizer, a well-known expert in health care quality who chaired the panel, told The Associated Press. “A lot of things can be done to make the system work better for more people.”
Black Americans are three times more likely to suffer from kidney failure than white people but far less likely to be referred for transplant evaluation. They wait longer for a deceased-donor organ, and are less likely to find a living donor.

Soon we will be placing on-demand orders with the CCP for Uyghur organs.
Today’s conspiracy theory is tomorrow’s fait accompli.
So what? They want to make it so that skin color determines whether you’ll get a transplant?
Let me summarize. Deny more whites and give more to people of color. Kill whitey.
The reason why more have been denied is because they lifestyle they live is determined to be so negative as to not warrant wasting a transplant on them, they are likely to misuse it and die anyway.
Getting qualified for a transplant is HARD and many things will bump you off the list. Such as living a crappy lifestyle, like smoking, doing drugs, drinking.. etc. Do the math from there.
And if you disagree you are a RACIST!
If true, that most black transplant patients wait longer for an organ than most white patients, could it be that it takes longer to find a suitable match for these black patients than for other races?
I swear we need to kill these people, bfore they get us all killed with their CRT wokie bullsh*t.
Why are they more likely to suffer from kidney failure? Is it life choices? Also money comes into play.
I remember an illegal 18 year old immigrant, getting a kidney, the hospital messed up, then got another one and then died. A rich guy was paying for both but why wouldn’t a productive citizen be first in line?
The required number of Whites must die! Equity at all costs!
A person ought to be able to leave organs in their will to be valued at fair market value as part of their estate. Upon death, a heart should be valued at perhaps $10,000 and kidneys at, say, $3,500 each. People in need of a transplant would be better off being able to get organs and the estate would benefit heirs.
I don’t see a downside.
I have a white friend who cant get a transplant because she has a rare blood type ...
They didnt put her one the list because it would have taken years ...
Theres lots of reasons ...
More fair. Fair now but need more.
Leftists are low IQ and evil beyond comprehension.

Okay, you get half a kidney and YOU get half a kidney!
Transgender organs coming up!
That’s the point that needs investigation.
My wife worked on a Dialysis floor. I can tell you why, LIFESTYLE. She literally had Black patients wanting to be diagnosed with Kidney failure to get on the government dole and live on Dialysis.
She knew people with failing kidneys actively living in a way to make it worse, intentionally!
And dialysis sucks! but they wanted the government had out more than dealing with the life on dialysis.
I would not have believed it myself if we had not experienced it day in and out for years before she left.
What about taking people *off* the list because one or more of their family members refused to get vaccinated?
“Fairness” is easy to rationalize until it the the opposite of “fair”. Does *anyone* here think Biden’s supporters would hesitate for an instant to take Trump supporters off the list?
Life isn’t fair and it isn’t equitable.
And thank the Lord for it!
I have a “fair solution”.
Blacks can get organ transplants from other blacks, and whites
can get them from other whites.
I have another idea about water fountains as well.
“I remember an illegal 18 year old immigrant, getting a kidney, the hospital messed up, then got another one and then died”
We had the same thing at Duke University a number of years ago, except it was a girl and she got 2 hearts before dying. Everyone kept saying how beautiful she was, etc. What’s that suppose to mean? Homely people deserve to die? IMHO, these hearts should have gone to people who are here legally and have been working and paying insurance premiums. If no one like that is a match, then OK maybe a humanitarian case can have it.
