As the father of identical twin sons who suffer from kidney disease and who will each wind up needing a kidney transplant I thank the New york Sun for bringing to light the hypocracy of the people who make their professional livings off the suffering of those with these diseases - while putting legal roadblocks in their way of obtaining these life saving organs. We as a nation should also be pushing for automatic harvesting of organs from the deceased unless opted out by the individual. Most people, like myself, think nothing of these situations and the life and death effect of the policy until it effects them. Kudos to you for exposing one more example of a way to shorten the waiting list for a life saving kidney.
