When Matthew Jones decided to donate a kidney to a stranger, the Michigan father of five had no idea he’d be starting a lifesaving, “pay it forward” chain. His kidney donation to a Phoenix woman in 2007 set off a long-running organ swap that resulted in 10 sick people getting new kidneys over a year. It hasn’t ended yet. This chain of living donors and others like it could help increase the number of kidney transplants, lead to better matches that will increase survival and even reduce spending on costly, long-term dialysis, says the Ohio doctor behind the effort.”My dream would be that we eliminate the waiting list because we could turn every altruistic donor into 100 transplants,” said Dr. Michael Rees, a transplant surgeon at University of Toledo Medical Center.
