Review

''Sigrid Fry-Revere has given us an amazing, courageous, provocative, even dangerous look at the complex and generally successful system of selling/donation that has solved the kidney supply problem in Iran. Eloquently, humorously written, it is one of my best reads in years. The book will be fascinating to anyone who loves a good travel adventure story, but essential for anyone interested in overcoming the organ transplant problem that costs thousands of lives each year.'' --Robert Veatch, Ph.D., Professor of Medical Ethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics and Fellow of the Hastings Center (In 1983 Dr. Veatch testified before Congress in favor of outlawing kidney sales.)

''The Kidney Sellers is exciting, well written, and insightful. This book is going to revolutionize the way we think about living kidney donation.'' --Harvey Mysel, Founder, Living Kidney Donors Network

''The Kidney Sellers offers an invaluable and hopeful contribution to a long-standing controversy. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to take improving donation rates seriously.'' --Jim Gleason, UNOS board member, TRIO (Transplant Recipients International Organization) president

Author Sigrid Fry Revere, Ph.D, is the president of the Center for Ethical Solutions which educates the public on patient care ethics. Along with her 100+ articles she has taken on a significant tour to six different Iranian cities with immense research culminated. In the 211 interviews conducted, including physicians, nurses, sellers, and recipients, her findings will shed light on both the Iranian and U.S. systems of organ procurement- notably kidneys.

Her intense quest was in an effort to find solutions to the following:
~ How can we solve the U.S. organ shortage?
~ How can we save the more than 100,000 Americans who need organs right now?
In the pages to follow preconceptions about the U.S. organ shortage and misconceptions about what Iran has done to solve its kidney shortage will be answered. I exhort you to approach this with an open mind as evidence is revealed.

The U.S. and Iranian system differ greatly in that Iran specializes in human donors while the U.S. mainly uses cadavers. Some may question the ethics behind human donors and the underlying reasons why many choose to give. You will discover interviews and information revealed on why so many are willing. Dr. Revere however knows that U.S. cadavers cannot provide enough organs to solve the kidney shortage which results in 20+ people dying daily waiting for a kidney.

Physicians and especially those specializing in Nephrology- this book is a must where 100 hours of video has been translated, taking almost 2 years. As forerunners in the field it will take the meeting of minds and policy changes to fix a system that is ineffective. Data suggests the government can save $200,000 per year per patient if transplants could be performed before a patient is on dialysis longer than six months.

A Journey of Discovery in Iran
By Sigrid Fry-Revere
A book review by Ginger Dawn Harman

Dr. Fry-Revere’s brand-new ethnographic research book, The Kidney Sellers: A Journey of Discovery in Iran addresses exploration of the medical ethics of compensating organ donors and that takes the reader deep inside Iranian culture, providing insight into and understanding of how Iran has solved its kidney shortage crisis. This powerfully argued new research book makes clear that the wider the gap between ethics and medical technology becomes, the harder it is for a government and ethnopsychologist to bridge it: put simply, what is good for one side is bad for the other. It is also clear that the need for serious action has never been greater for those who suffer from kidney disease. An estimated 26 million adults, or one in nine Americans, have chronic kidney disease, and another 20 million are estimated as being at risk of developing the disease. Dr. Fry-Revere’s years of research have led her to investigate, how it is possible that in Iran there is a waiting list to be a donor, while in the United States hundreds of thousands of people have died for lack of a kidney? Putting her own personal safety at risk, without knowledge or consent from the Iranian government, the author traveled the country and interviewed kidney donors, recipients, Iranian transplant staff, medical transplant physicians, and Anjonman staff, who provided much information on the historical to current practices in Iran. With nine binders of just video transcripts alone, Dr. Fry-Revere and Dr. Bahar Bastani have documented the raw and honest data affording possibilities for answers to the American kidney crisis.
