Dear all, I am putting out a time-sensitive message out there. I got to know that the dad of my friend, our fellow finance blogger Lionel at Cheerful Egg, urgently needs a liver transplant. The doctor estimates his dad might not have much time left (like days). The family and relatives failed to meet the donation criteria and they are exploring volunteers for living donors. There is a set of criteria for the living donors:

1. Blood Type O+ (or O-)
2. Ages 21-50
3. Weight 65-90 kg. (This is to ensure that the liver is big enough for both the donor and donee)

The donor will have to undergo some tests and checks to verify eligibility. This will be considered as a major surgery over one-day. You will need to factor in a 4-6 weeks period of recovery. I think some of the older readers will remember the case of TV personality Pierre Png donating his liver to Andrea De Cruz...
