Pierce Pioneer said that this current success of the medical world to have found a way for kidney transplant to be successful and fast was something anyone could call innovative, knowing that there are 101,000 Americans who are on a waitlist to acquire a deceased kidney donor. Family of the patients could certainly volunteer and donate their kidney, but there is no guarantee that they would perfectly match the patient's and it's mostly because of the variation in blood types and even some proteins that are present in their body.

Technology has once again made the human race's life progress, as it brings more hope to those who need kidneys. Now, the chances of a patient getting a matched donor becones high and even more efficient. Life couldn't get better than living in this generation.
