The two women, Chris Sprague, 52, and Sandy Stone, 32, speak from experience: Chris gave Sandy one of her two kid neys last summer. "One person can save six to eight lives with just their solid organs, not counting the skin and bone marrow," Chris says. "If there (were) more people who would donate cadaver parts," she adds, "it would put less stress on living donors." As for her decision to donate her kidney, "Not every mother is fortunate enough to give life to a daughter twice," Chris says.
