Dozens Offer a Kidney to Mourning

Alonzo Mourning, a center for the Nets, announced Monday that he will need a kidney transplant. Quite a few calls suddenly came in from around the country with people wanting to donate. It's nice people want to donate, but why not help someone else on the list? Why does it have to be a celebrity? Luckily, when asked, many of the donors said they'd be willing to donate to anyone.

How nice of them...

Also, they have to screen the donors to make sure they're truly doing this for reasons other than possibly grubbing money off the guy. And, they'll probably take from his friends and family first if they find a match.

The average person often has trouble finding donors; Elaine Berg, the president and chief executive of the New York Organ Donor Network, said that about 12,000 people donate organs annually, including 6,000 upon death, for a pool of 83,000 people who need an organ transplant.

An average of 17 people die per day waiting to receive one, she said.
