A transplant ONLY lasts 10 to 15 years?! Really?! How is that possible? I thought once you got a healthy kidney, you were set for life. Yes, you still have to take meds, but only 15 years seems like a really short time.
How
Long do other organ transplants last?

To end the crisis of organs in need
Researchers implanted some pig kidneys with speed
In humans they fit
Foundation they lit
For a future with less on organ shortage to bleed

"Your loved one checked the box to be an organ donor at the DMV. Now they're dead. What happens?"

Salon has a fascinating report: "When does death begin? And what do we do when it looks uncannily like life?"

Transplant Board: U.S. Should Screen At-Risk Organ Donors for Chagas
==

Last week, ProPublica reported on the death of Bob Naedele, who passed after he received an infected heart; his death could have been prevented if the donor had been tested for Chagas.

The policy change comes after years of recommendations from experts for screening to prevent such deaths.

Organ Transplant Patients Can Die When Donors Aren't Screened for This Parasitic Disease
==

Bob Naedele died after receiving a heart from a donor with Chagas disease.

His death could have been prevented if the donor had been tested. The group that governs U.S. transplant policies is considering mandatory screening of at-risk donors.

The other week there was a story about a dog who found a dinosaur bone. This week, a gorgeous Doberman found a kidney for her owner!
