Six Americans from across the country take part in a high-risk and high-stakes "triple kidney exchange" that could save - or end - the lives of three of them. Three are stuck on dialysis, and on a long waiting list for a kidney. All three have unusual cocktails of antibodies in their bloodstreams, and they will probably die before they can get off the list. But, in a unique donor-matching program at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore, they get a chance to receive a life-saving kidney from a live donor. The operation could extend their lives by 15 years or more. But there's a catch: they must supply the donor themselves and that person must be willing to give up their kidney ... to a perfect stranger. Written by Anonymous See less
