Ana Sltis : Kidney disease is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. She says kidney disease is particularly severe among Black Americans , who are three times more likely than white Americans to develop kidney failure.

She says kidneys from Black donors are more likely to be thrown away as a result of a flawed system that downgrades their quality based on the donor’s race.

She argues that this flawed system raises ethical concerns about justice, fairness and good stewardship of scarce resources.
