That's correct - tissue matching is important. A child or a sibling  
is a more likely donor.  I'm not atall sure donating a kidney to your  
wife is such a great idea however; I enjoyed four of the latter, but  
posses only two kidneys. There's on;y so much you can give, even if  
it's only a flesh wound....
