The spreading phenomenon
of unrelated living kidney donations has now reached The Washington
Post newsroom.
Financial reporter
Marthy McNeil Hamilton, 55, has become the donor of a kidney to
automotive columnist Warren Brown, 53.
The Post, in a column
that appeared on Sunday, said that while the newspaper has written
a number of times about living-donor transplants, the decision
of one reporter to donate a kidney to another has become the talk
of the newsroom.
"There
is a sense of amazement at the depth of generosity," said
Jill Dutt, The Post's assistant managing editor for financial
news.
The transplant
took place at Georgetown University, and Brown and Hamilton --
who both joined The Post more than 20 years ago -- were reported
doing well after the surgery.
