JAYNE JACKSON has been waiting two years for a kidney transplant (The Press, August 26).

That is a long time to wait for a kidney.

I had a transplant in December 1992 and, fingers crossed, the kidney seems to be working all right, so it must have been a good match.

The only way people are going to get a kidney is for a law to be passed where when someone dies, their kidney could be given to someone who needs such an organ.

There would be an uproar from those who would object to this, but it’s the only way people would get the chance to have a transplant.
