This is great news. The organ donor wait list is 6-8 years for most organs (kidneys, livers, etc.). Please be an organ donor.

- Sohcahtoa82 5y agoBeing an organ donor needs to be opt-out rather than opt-in. If it absolutely must be opt-in, then opting in should be easy. In Oregon, it's just a matter of checking a box when you get a state ID or driver's license. Also, make sure your family knows your wishes.

- pkaye 5y agoYup, I'm a kidney dialysis patient waiting 6 years on the list. In theory I'm approaching the front of the list but they still need to make sure I get good compatibility so who knows. I've know people who have waited for 8-10 years!
- SavantIdiot 5y agoI'm pulling for ya! Have you been doing at-home dialysis or at a facility?
- pkaye 5y agoI'm doing at-home PD dialysis. At-home is generally best if people can manage it.
