Man gets new kidney thanks to his best friend and a total stranger

Cory Slater decided to donate his kidney to his best friend, Curtis Choe. However, Slater wasn't a match. But thanks to a program through the National Kidney Registry, Slater was able to donate his kidney to a person he matched with and in return Choe was prioritized to find his own match. He received a new kidney from a total stranger.

4 people, not 3, are forever connected. The two donors and two receivers.

When I see these kind of stories it makes me believe in humanity.

Such a lovely & inspirational story.
David Begnaut, you've done it again.
Thank you, CBS, for blessing us with his talent, humanity & love.

If only more people would register for the live donor registry without having to know someone. Would really make a big difference. I’m going on 2 years kidney donation on behalf of my big brother. We did kidney exchange as well, where it took 6 of us (3 donors and 3 received)
