thread_title:  People to add 

message: I removed Mr. A. Jagannatham and Mrs. from the list, because:
a) While the transplant may have been notable, (see below) "they" (i.e. Mr. and Mrs. A. Jagannatham) are not notable people. 
b) The source says "first adult-to-adult live donor liver transplant in India", making even the transplant itself less than notable.
c) I couldn't find any report by the BBC, even though the source says that they covered it (??). 
These above seems make this inclusion contrary to the spirit of the article.--DO11.10 02:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know of any notable recipients of lung or bone marrow transplants? If so, could you please add them? Dylan Slade 18:45, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I very noted man who received (several) bone marrow transplants was Dr. Carl Sagan, the great astronomer and author from Cornell University, who wrote about 20 books for the general public, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Dragons of Eden and the novel Contact and numerous articles in Parade magazine on such subjects as nuclear winter. Sagan was one of the originators of the concept of the threat of nuclear winter.
Sagan also published literally hundreds of technical articles and books in the fields of astronomy and exobiology.
Sagan did not suffer from cancer, but rather from a very bad blood disease that required bone-marrow transplants in a long-ongoing, and eventually vain, effort to save his life. All of his transplants were donated by his sister, his only sibling, who tested out as an excellent match for Dr. Sagan's bone marrow.

thread_title:  Other transplants? 

message: I've removed the following from the page: Both seemed out of place and not appropriate for this particular article. There was a reference above it, I'm not sure if that was in the article previously or if it was meant to reference the section that I removed. Both the section that I removed and the reference are below:
Denver Post Oct. 18, 19, 20, 21, 2004
On October 18, 2004, Robert F. Hickey, Ph.D., was to be the first person to receive a kidney transplant through a new means of identifying altruistic, non-related, living donors. The surgeon, Igal Kam, who had never seen Dr. Hickey prior to the day of surgery, cancelled the transplant 30 minutes after it was to have begun because he didn't like how Hickey found a donor. International and local media pressure forced the hospital in Denver as well as the surgeon to approve the transplant which took place on October 20, 2004. Hickey received his kidney from a part time photographer, 32 year old Robert S. Smitty of Cleveland, TN. Hickey's break through surgery has led to 63 other transplants arranged through MatchingDonors.com.

message: There seems to have been a sustained spike in readership of this article. According to this chart the spike occurred between January 5 and 6, 2017. before the spike there were 0 to 5 views per day. After the spike there were 40 to 60 and more per day. In trying to figure out why this might be, I discovered that in France as of January 1, 2017, all French nationals are automatically organ donors upon their death, unless they opt out. Any other thoughts? Verne Equinox (talk) 19:49, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

message: Notable recipients of transplants OUGHT to include...
Whoever has survived the longest after receiving the transplant!
We might like to know if anyone has lived for (e.g.) forty years after having received a heart, liver, or kidney transplant!
Perhaps there is an infant who received a heart transplant 50 years ago, and the adult person is still alive now.
Also, I have heard of a very young boy in South America who received a corneal transplant from a (deceased) old man (70+ years old), 70 years ago, and that boy is still a living adult now. That means that his cornea is 140+ years old, and it is the oldest piece of living human tissue that there ever has been. I surely believe that this is a notable accomplishment and experience! Someone please look up the details and record them here.47.215.188.197 (talk) 02:30, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
