Would you take a kidney if you needed one?
Nearly everyone would. But less than 6% of us have joined the Organ Donor Register.
More than 44 million people in the US have chronic kidney disease (ckd). That's 1 in 7. In 2008, 4,573 kidney patients – that's 12.5 a day - died waiting because there are not enough organs available.
The above video is a great story that NBC'S TODAY SHOW did about kidney donation.
