Kidney transplant supply squeezed by pull plug fears
Doctors cite court rulings and high malpractice costs as they delay life support decisions, shrinking kidney donations in Northeast Ohio. Since July 1975, regional transplants dropped about 60 percent, with 82 patients on the waiting list as of now. Randy Carmen, 17, survived 20 days on a respirator after a head injury, highlighting debates over declaring death. Karen Quinlan’s case in New Jersey adds to the uncertainty as life support remains in use despite questions of death definitions.
