About Kate

I'm a student at Wollongong Uni, and in second year of a double degree Bachelor Communications and Media Studies (Journalism)/ Bachelor of Arts (English Literatures). I live in small town south of Wollongong, but will move to Sydney when I finish uni in three and half years.I can't wait to travel, and hopefully will have the opporutnity to work overseas as a journalist. Eventually, I want to be editor of a magazine and someday want to publish a novel.

Very well written. You have definitely brought a big issue to the attention of many people.

Interesting topic and basically well handled. I agree with Sonja that comments from Henri's doctors about his prognosis, which after seven years must still be very good. Also interesting fact on the number of people willing to be organ donors. Has Australia seen a similar rise in the number of successful transplants?

This is a great article, Kate! Kidney transplants are serious issues and many people never get one in time. I'm glad you decided to cover this topic.

One thing I was looking for, though, were some quotes from doctors or experts in the field to add a little more credibility to all the great facts you provide and to balance out the quotes you have from Henri.

Good article. You kept me interested and reading. Why was 11.01.01 so special for a mathematician?
