"That is a coercive inducement and we would never allow that in research," she said Researchers often pay partici pants in studies, she explained, but the amounts are kept low to avoid exploiting vulnerable peo ple. "I think he is going up against a (rattle he will never win," she said. "His end goal is virtuous. We’re disputing his means, not his goal." She suggested adopt ing a European-style system where doctors presume consent and harvest organs unless the deceased had specifically pro hibited it. With the current system, kid* neys for transplant generally come from cadavers, but demand far outstrips supply. More than 25,000 Americans are awaiting transplants but only 4.500 trans plants are performed each year Any living person < an donate a kidney, but he or she is not per mitted to accept payment for it. Generally only family members of those needing transplants step forward to donate The 21-yenr old Jette lives with one kidney after giving his twin brother one m d 1992 operation. Seeing his brother go through (2 surgeries in 21 years and befriending many dialysis patients are what inspired Jette to begin his crusade. He described the ox|M*rience of see ing dialysis patients as very dra matii and said the mac bines are merely "a life-maintainer. while a kidney donation is the ultimate thing to get jieople I wick into soci ety." Jette said the i adaver system leaves too many people waiting for transplants that may never come The living donor program would provide many more kid neys and allow for more exten sive testing prior to the operation, he said The success rate for transplants from c adavers is 80 pen ent. but transplants from liv ing donors are successful 92 per cent of the time, he said. Donors for Life has not yet arranged any transplants "1 risk five years in jail and a $50,000 fine if I do it," Jette said. "But 1 have no idea who would come forward to prosecute me " Jette hopes to test the law as soon as enough money is donat ed to finance the compensation and operation for the first donor, but he said he is not accepting any money at this time Donors for Life is a nonprofit organization that Jette formed last August. It now has seven mem bers, including his brother, three physicians, an attorney and an accountant Jette said those who question the morality of the program should examine the lives of dial ysis patients. "Why is it not morally ques tionable to keep someone on dialysis for years and years w ith no hope of a transplant?” he asked.
