Spare a Kidney?

It is no longer unusual for a spouse or relative to donate a kidney to a loved one, but the number of Americans who have given a kidney to a friend, a co-worker or even a complete stranger has risen sharply from 68 in 1994 to 176 in 1998.

There are many reasons. First, it\'s possible to live a normal life with only one kidney. (The remaining kidney enlarges to make up most of the difference.) In addition a kidney from a live donor lasts longer than a kidney taken from someone who has died suddenly. But the biggest change in the past few years is that transplant surgeons have started using laparoscopic techniques to remove the donor kidney through a much smaller incision, and this can cut recovery time for the donor from six weeks to four weeks.

Just because you do something, however, it doesn\'t mean you should. Donating a kidney means undergoing an operation that carries some risk. You could argue that you may be helping to save a life, but you certainly can\'t pretend that you\'re better off with one kidney instead of two.

So, what are the risks? "As with any major operation, there is a chance of dying, of reoperation due to bleeding, of infection, of vein clots in the legs or a hernia at the incision," says Dr. Arthur Matas, director of the renal-transplant program at the university of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis. Even laparoscopy, a relatively new technique for kidney donation, is not risk-free. Doctors estimate that chances of dying from the procedure are about 3 in 10,000.

There\'s no money to be made; selling an organ is illegal. But the recipient\'s insurance normally covers your operation and immediate aftercare. Your costs can include hotel bills, lost pay during recovery or possible future disability.

Although transplant centers must evaluate any potential donor\'s suitability, it never hurts to have an independent opinion. The most common contraindications are heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Never let anyone, not even a close relative, pressure you into giving up an organ -- no matter if you\'re healthy. "There\'s often the feeling that you\'re not a good friend, father, mother if you don\'t do this," says Arthus Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania\'s center for Bioethics. Some transplant centers will invent a "medical problem" on behalf of those who are reluctant to donate but feel they can\'t say no.

1. From 1994 to 1998 the number of Americans who had donated a kidney reached 244. 

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

2. One of the reasons why the number of kidney donors has risen is that one is better off with one kidney instead of two.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

3.Yo don\'t have to be dead to donate a kidney, but you had better know the risks before you give it up.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

4. None of the Americans who donates a kidney during the period lasting from 1994 to 1998 died from the procedure.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

5. No one sells organs in the U.S. since it is illegal.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

6. People with heart disease, diabetes and high pressure are not suitable for kidney donation. 

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

7. Some transplant centers invent "medical problems" to cheat potential kidney donors.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned[Page]

Museums in the modern world

Museums have changed. They are no longer places for the privileged few or for bored vacationers to visit on rainy days. Action and democracy are words used in descriptions of museums now.

At a science museum in Ontario, Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, you can look at 17th century instruments while listening to their music. At the Modern Museum in Sweden, you can put on costumes provided by the Stockholm Opera. As these examples show, museums are reaching out to new audiences, particularly the young, the poor, and the less educated members of the population. As a result, attendance is increasing.

More and more, museums directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, for example, there are no guided tours. The visitor is encouraged to touch, listen, operate, and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. He can have the experience of operating a spaceship or a computer. He can experiment with glass blowing and papermaking. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science. The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it, and those who fear science will not use it to the best advantage. Many museums now provide educational services and children\'s department
