My friend the philosopher Andrew Sepielli (Toronto) asked me to share this information about a family friend in need of help. If you fit the profile, or know someone who does, please take a moment to click the link. (There is also a Facebook page here.) Thank you.
UPDATE: Dr. Roger Albin, the Anne B. Young Collegiate Professor of Neurology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, writes:
For Americans interested in bone marrow donation, the best avenue is the National Marrow Donation Program, which operates an exemplary registry, Information about the program is at bethematch.org. Signing up is easy and involves no blood draws. I donated marrow a few years ago and found their process to be efficient and conducted with the highest professional standards. As a former donor and as a physician who occasionally sees recipients of marrow donation, I can testify that this is a remarkably meritorious activity. Most potential donors will never be contacted, but if you are, you may actually save a life with only a very modest amount of effort and discomfort. I strongly encourage your readers to participate in the registry.
