Read the news with a lot of interest. However I fail to understand why were all the transplants done simultaneously. Why not do it in three or four hospitals in the same city simultaneoulsy. This feat it looks has only been done to catch the attention of media and more the lawmakers in the USA. Some transplant doctors are keen to climb the unrelated transplants bandwagon and I think it is their way of putting pressure on the law-makers and win piblic sympathy. If I am wrong in my conclusions - I hope someone can correct me.

This type of transplants should be promoted since there are lot of patients who are in the waiting list for kidneys transplants with no one to give give from the family.If there are know commercial transactions involved these type of transplants must be encouraged.About two months back similar type of transplant where the hindu and muslim families awapped their kidneys.
