Something else I found - I actually expected these numbers to be much higher. From UNOS -

53,693 Patients waiting for a kidney transplant.
17,188 Patients waiting for a liver transplant.
1,361 Patients waiting for a pancreas transplant.
330 Patients waiting for a pancreas islet cell.
2,483 Patients waiting a kidney-pancreas transplant.
193 Patients waiting for a intestine transplant.
3,908 Patients waiting for a heart transplant.
199 Patients waiting for a heart-lung transplant.
3,824 Patients waiting for a lung transplant.

they are probably low due to the deaths of people on the list.
all very sad.

TweetI wonder if the young woman was able to donate any of her organs or if the parents let her. Possibly not because of the circumstances?

What a FUBAR.
