From a reader, Newbury, Berkshire, UK
I've changed my mind about donating a kidney after discovering that rapists and murderers are on the organ waiting lists.
Also, the UK's National ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû1000¼¯ºÏ Service Blood and Transplant organisation promotes kidney donation with examples of recipients with type 1 diabetes and other “not-your-fault” conditions. Yet most kidneys are needed for type 2 diabetes, linked to lifestyle choices. However you feel about conditions linked to lifestyle, this is an advertising-type appeal by the NHSBT.
