People who may have stories like mine, stories that end with multiple lives being saved and others changed for the better.’

“After a long journey of exploring all options, Farber received a transplant from his oldest son Gregg, who was a perfect match, in May of 2004.
‘I said to myself as I was going through this process that if I made it through I’d create a foundation to create a greater awareness as to what transplantation is all about.’
With the American Transplant Foundation successfully underway, he tackled his second promise to himself.
‘I really saw a huge need to write a book,’ said Farber.
On the List has just been released. It explores the legal, political, economic and ethical debates surrounding organ transplant.”
