The Matching Donors site in the US has matched around 250 strangers, more than twice as many as Britain's anonymous NHS scheme.
Under the NHS transplant scheme, altruistic donors are not told who receives their kidney – with a medical panel deciding who needs it the most. But the Matching Donors website allows those in need of a transplant to make online pleas to potential donors, who can then choose who they give their kidney to.
