Husband walks streets in search of a kidney donor - CNN.com

(CNN) -- Larry William Swilling walks the streets of Anderson, South Carolina, with a sandwich board over his stocky shoulders.

"NEED KIDNEY 4 WIFE," the sign reads.

He and Jimmy Sue Swilling have been married for 55 years. She was born with only one kidney and after years of kidney disease, that organ has started to fail. No one in the family is a match for a transplant.

Swilling, 77, has collected six pages of names of strangers who offered to be tested as potential kidney donors for his wife.

Who in the hell would give a kidney to a 77 year old woman? If people would freaking die when they're supposed to instead of getting their parts replaced, we wouldn't have health care problems in this country.

If the gummint would get out of health care people could buy Chinese kidneys at reasonable free market prices and not need to appeal to the mercy of strangers.

After all, why let all those perfectly good organs go to waste as folks choose suicide over yet another day of making I-phones? :shrug:

Now there is a man that loves his wife. I can think of very few that would do the same thing for their spouse. Very few.

Maybe Dick Cheney has a kidney or two he can spare stored away with his extra hearts? :buddies:
