    I am currently listed at John's Hopkins for a kidney transplant. The drawback to this is it will take many years to get a cadaver kidney. This said I am looking for a type A positive kidney donor.

    Offer $50,000, you'll get a taker, especially in India where it's legal.

    It is illegal to pay someone to get a kidney in the United States. Insurance will pay up to $6000 for the donors expenses involved.

    I may not have made myself clear. The $6000 in donor expenses is to cover travel, meals, etc. The cost of the operation is 100% covered by my insurance.

    Should soon be listed with UPMC in addition to Johns Hopkins hospital. A kidney donor with any blood type will do since if it is not a match for me it will be a match for someone. By putting the kidney in the pool this will also insure me of a kidney when one that is a match becomes available.

    Anyone interested in becoming a kidney donor please call the UPMC transplant office at 717-231-8757 and tell them the kidney is for Gerald Baker. Thanks in advance.

    Amazing over 800 views and not one person willing to help.

    I have had kidney problems in the past so I would not be a good candidate as a donor ... I can see where someone would be concerned responding to such a request ... Seems with the United States being such a killing field there should be availability on most given days ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
