This article is about living organ donations (liver) and a complicated, sad case but may provide information and insight to living donors or those needing transplants:

Its a very sad story, it actually brought tears to my eyes to see such a good man loose his life while trying to help his relative. I think his story will help other donors who are willing to donate to be properly tested and to get a second opinion about donating before making the big decision. Organ donation is still a precious gift that cannot be rewarded..I am sure Paul is in heaven.
