This chapter investigates why the various matching and swapping arrangements are hard to implement, arguing it is difficult to schedule even one transplant in ways that are convenient for the donor and meet the needs of the recipient. The chapter analyses the difficulties of this complicated exchange, especially if there are two or more transplants. With such awareness, the chapter reviews the innovative program that was recently initiated at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center, which allows people to donate a kidney today in exchange for a voucher that a designated recipient can redeem for a kidney in the future if and when a kidney is needed. Even though the new and more complex elaboration of paired exchanges or vouchers increased the pool of people who can donate and increased the chances for people on transplant waiting lists to get an organ, the chapter explores how they begin to look more and more like markets. And, in most countries, markets in organs are illegal.

Background Questions about the etiology of disease can concern patients living with any chronic disease and may impact disease-related adjustment. These causal attributions may be of particular interest when individuals are living with diseases for which etiologies have not been definitively identified, such as scleroderma. This study qualitatively explored patient attributions of causality for scleroderma. Methods: Patients with confirmed diagnoses of scleroderma responded to an open-ended prompt. The cross-sectional sample of scleroderma patients ( N = 114) was recruited through registries maintained at the University of California, Los Angeles and University of California, San Diego Schools of Medicine and the Virginia Mason Medical Center. Content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data and group the responses via an inductively derived codebook using the text analysis tool Dedoose Version 4.5. Results: Patients provided a variety of possible causes for scleroderma, which grouped into seven themes: (1) stress, (2) environment, (3) genetics, (4) medical conditions or surgeries, (5) diet, (6) medications or substance use, and (7) spirituality. Conclusion: Patients’ causal attributions for scleroderma were varied, but many patients identified stress as a cause of scleroderma, often focusing on acute or chronic stressors that were present before disease onset. Identifying patient theories of causality for scleroderma can contribute to an increased understanding of disease-related behaviors and adjustment.
