Recently @nytimes.com created some uproar with misreporting about the noble gift of life. I am an organ donor and a proud caregiver to transplant recipients. 91,869 patients are waiting for a kidney transplant & 50% would die before transplant due to organ shortage.Learn about it:

Kenyan donors were getting paid 6 k to sell their kidney
A day stay in ICU costs more in the US
How is it possible that in 2025 the value of human life is still so disproportionate ?
