I am so happy for the state of Wisconsin. Kentucky was the 43rd state to get a statewide registry. As a six-organ transplant recipient, I work every day to “grow” the registry and end the wait. I am the president of the Lexington -Central Ky. Second Chance @ Life group and have just been given a position on the Kentucky Coalition re organ, eye, and tissue donation.

Your story about Organ Donation highlighted the tragic shortage of human organs for transplant operations.

Over 50% of the people on the national transplant waiting list will die before they get a transplant. Most of these deaths are needless. Americans bury or cremate 20,000 transplantable organs every year.

There is a simple way to put a big dent in the organ shortage – give donated organs first to people who have agreed to donate their own organs when they die.

Giving organs first to organ donors will convince more people to register as organ donors. It will also make the organ allocation system fairer. People who aren’t willing to share the gift of life should go to the back of the waiting list as long as there is a shortage of organs.
