On September 28, 2018 Martha Gershun donated a kidney to Deb Porter Gill, a woman she met after reading about her need for a new kidney in the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle.  Gershun’s newest book, The Radical Altruism of Organ Donation, co-written with medical ethicist John Lantos, MD, is presently in development.

Here’s a link to Gershun’s synagogue newsletter, featuring a column she wrote about this adventure.
