The Gift of Life

Myths may discourage donations BY NATE KARLIN [email protected] KANSAN STAFF WRITER

The organ transplant waiting list continues to grow rapidly, but myths about donating stop peo- ple from registering with the donor registry, said Laura Schons, hospital and family services coor- dinator for the Midwest Transplant Network. The most common myths include stories that emergency medical technicians won’t save peo- ple’s lives so there are more organs for transplants. Or that donors can’t have an open-casket funeral or families are charged for the donations. All are not true, Schons said. Suzanne Muldrew, Overland Park freshman, Erin Droste/KANSAN didn’t register as a donor when she got her license. BY NATE KARLIN She said she would only want family members to receive her organs. She didn’t want them going to KANSAN STAFF WRITER recipients who needed a new organ because they purposely damaged their old one, such as her liver going to an alcoholic.

Former KU student saves lives through death After former KU student Connor Meigs died in a car accident last year, he gave the gift of life — his organs — to four candidates on the waiting list because he had signed up as an organ donor when he renewed his license. Though some KU students don’t sign up for organ donations because of various myths, donations are necessary throughout the United States. More than 87,000 people await organs that will match with their bodies. Otherwise they, too, will die. PAGE 1A

Renovated buildings become unique new homes Lawrence landlords are using everything they can — old churches and even retail malls — to create unique buildings to attract new clients and an influx of students. These old buildings are not restricted to individual renters, either. At least one renovat- ed church is home to a small business, which appreciates its proximity to downtown. PAGE 2A

The decision came after meet- ing with his family and high school basketball coach, according to rivals.com. “I have given a commitment to Kansas,” Lewis told Zach Strauss/KANSAN rivals.com. “I really made this Catcher Sean Richardson slides across home plate, scoring the go-ahead run in the ninth inning versus Wichita State last night.
