Did you... read the article?

In the new study, 1,025 patients at 22 medical centers who had an incompatible donor were compared to an equal number of patients who remained on waiting lists for an organ or who had an organ from a deceased but compatible donor. After eight years, 76.5 percent of those who received an incompatible kidney were still alive, compared with 62.9 percent who remained on the waiting list or received a deceased donor kidney and 43.9 percent who remained on the waiting list but never got a transplant.

Using this procedure, there's a 25% chance you'll be dead in 8 years.

Not using this procedure, there's a 33% change you'll be dead in 8 years.

Not getting a kidney, there's a 56% chance you'll be dead in 8 years.

That's great news - but we're talking about cutting down the mortality of nephrology patients, not transhumanism. Do you know any transplant recipients? I had lunch with a 3-kidneyed buddy just last week. He's still in touch with an ex-girlfriend of mine, who's a social worker at the Northwest Kidney Center. What about you? Is this something you know something about?

Or are you just slingin' it up there because you just know somehow that if you keep goading me I"ll be wrong?

Never mind, don't care.
