Best answer ever.

Thanks for doing this AMA! My family is full of big believers in organ donation - my aunt had kidney disease and received a kidney from my mom, and 10 years later when that one failed, from her daughter. She gained a good 15 years of life not hooked up to dialysis machines, which she hated.

I'm curious about the match process. Have there been advances to ensure a better match between donors and recipients? Are there any innovations in the pipeline that you're aware of that could reduce a recipients need for anti-rejection drugs? I know those kinds of drugs were hard on my aunt overall.

Again, thanks for doing this, and for your service!
