DONORS
Continued from Page 1
members if you have signed >i
donor < ard Family members
must sign a consent form oven if
the dt*< eased person was a regis
lerod donor, she said
Dr Susan Tolle, director of the
('.entor for Kthics in Health Care
at Oregon Health Sr tenets Uni
versity. expressed deep concern
about Jette’s proposal and said it
might take advantage of vulner
able groups "The money ran lie
coert ive to desperate people."
she said
Jette said counseling will
screen out donors who are only
interested in money, but Tolle
was skeptical.
"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.
