The reality is that the kidney that will be transplanted into Joan will probably become available because of an unexpected death. Some family, faced with an unbearably painful situation, is going to have to give final approval for the kidney donation. My heart goes out to them—whoever they are.
The person who will donate a kidney to Joan is still out there today—alive, breathing. He or she probably already signed the donor form, maybe when they renewed their driver’s license, with probably about as much deep contemplation that I gave it, which is to say, very little.
