Great point DJ.

Another alternative that has been enabled through data and altruism is creating chains of donors. Let’s say my brother needs a kidney and I’m not a match, but I’m still willing to donate to another person to establish a trade of kidneys; we increase our the chances of finding a donor. Thanks to better data and algorithms we can make this a chain of donations where everyone gets the right kidney at the right time. This model is so powerful, that one of the longest chains was 68 people (34 donors and 34 recipients) using 26 hospitals.

Great point DJ. When you do have an available organ you need the tissue matching to increase the level of success. My brother recently received a kidney, and you point you make could well improve the chances of getting a new organ/kidney. I wrote about this in this post https://medium.com/@jimsabogal/miracle-of-healthcare-cd8438d04e6a 
I do appreciate your points. Thanks DJ
