Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
For years, doctors have been able to transplant kidneys from living donors. Today, a new surgical technique is making it possible for a person to give part of his or her liver to someone in need. A panel talks about the phenomenon of live organ donation: new techniques, the medical risks and benefits, the possibility of live organ donor registries, and the ethical questions raised by each step forward.
