• Out of those 63,000 only 20,000 will get a kidney transplant.
• 31,000 get added to the kidney transplant list every year.
o Gaps in the research might be overall health of those that die before receiving a kidney transplant.
o Conflicting assertions or theories in the research include whether or not to allow the buying and selling of kidneys in the United States. This might backfire and cause the United States to become a black market.
