I donated my kidney last year through non-directed donation at the University of Maryland Medical Center. I have met with my recipient multiple times, keep in contact with him, and consider him and his entire family as my family. He now travels the US thanks to being dialysis-free.

I am not understanding what corruption you are citing, although I have not had a chance to read the rest of the comments or look into your research. Thanks for the reply!

In regards to the kidney story, would you cite this as a reason not to donate a kidney? (even though the story is about the person selling the organ)

UMMC by default leaves patients and recipients separate, but they act as the middle man and provide contact opportunities/information if both parties desire. I met my recipient during a check up when we were both at the hospital and had agreed to meet. :)

Interesting point. However, I think then that the issue is with verifying reliable sources, rather than organ donation or HIPAA as a whole.
