Jaimée asks the living donor coordinator, Margaret Voges, about the paired donation program.  It is great option for patients that do not have a living donor with a matching blood type.  The program finds a matching pair in the same situation and coordinates the "exchange" of organs so that recipient A receives an organ from donor B and recipient B receives an organ from donor A.  These paired donations (or exchanges) can involve several people as well!  Here is a great success story that you may have heard about: http://www.paireddonation.org/files/peopleMagazine.pdf. 

Despite the promise of this option, Margaret suggests that we wait to see what kind of response we get from potential living donors before we pursue the option of paired donation.
