Abstract
The report by Weber et al. (July 25 issue)1 provides persuasive evidence that kidneys from donors without a heartbeat can be transplanted with satisfactory long-term results. However, the impact of this source of donor organs remains subject to speculation. Studies suggest that the increase in the overall number of kidneys from donors per year could range from 11 percent to as much as 350 percent.2,3Keywords
