If the OP actually cared they would have mentioned that they found a match, this is just point whoring.

First thought. This isn't in the US, the land of the selfish bastards.
ayalikestea
I hope they found a match. Just reading the headline made me wanna tear up
S117MC
They did and actually had 3 matches
Iamyourcaptainnow
Let me guess, Republicans have no problem if those people would get water & snacks handed out.
MysterEF8
Maybe take a break from the internet for a while, you seem a bit wound up. I mean, this isn't even in the US
WaxDragon
People sometimes make me happy. I wish it happened more
TheDarkArchitect
Kid next door with the same condition but wasn't in the media spotlight: o_o
somewhatparanoidpanda
They put the cute ones in the spotlight to get people to register, the data they collect is used to match everyone
IllegalDuckling
Did this help science? If so, awesome
DubhIainn
Don't you guys have a centralised bonemarrow / stem cell registry??
PhoenixfireUK
People can volunteer to be placed on a donor registry, but nobody is compelled to in the UK.
DubhIainn
Yeah, we ain't compelled either - but we (most of my friends and I) signed up and got screened. I just sorta thought everyone did it.
Skuxlife
Be the match
VinnyVeritas
In the U.S. this only happens if a rich, narcissistic asshole promises to create a RICH WHITES ONLY CLUB that you will never qualify for...
twocatsinatrenchcoat
And then the police turned up and pepper sprayed them all I assume
AnimalGenetaliaAudioClues
That’s next level “It takes a village”
GreySeasAbound
Don't know how it works elsewhere but in my country you can register as donor. This way they call you if you match a patient.
uponstrangeshores
How to tell people you're from the UK without telling people you're from the UK.
crazyaustrian
In US big pharma would have quickly found all matching donors and monopolized treatment options.
spaghetarian
You missed the part where they would charge the donors for the desire to help someone get off of a very expensive treatment
XIXXXVIVIII
Didn't even give a toss about the kid, just love queuing up in the rain.
lovinglockdown
??? it’s what we do
younglaurenm24
You all are a strait up gift to humanity thank you!
ShadowbanMyAss
And not a profit incentive in sight....
DarkAngelWarlord
I hope the DNA they got from everyone else can be saved so they can see if they can be matched to help other kids
Raeke
This is as good a time as any to point out you can get on registries pretty easily. Personally on some bone marrow ones like Be the Match
STEVIERAYK
Ain't no republicans in that line.

I’m currently waiting for my stem cell transplant (accrue lymphoblastic leukemia) and this is so cool to see. I’m lucky enough to have 1/2
EthanBuford
Found a match easily. It’s incredible to be given life by another person. Hopefully little dude came out on top!
rageslayerz
His treatment was successful and he's back in school according to sources. Good luck with your treatment!
EthanBuford
Thank you!

How many Trumplicans in that line ?

Shhhh, adults are posting

English people love to queue and it always rains here....

Very true

How could you post this and not mention that actually 10,000 people were screened and they found a match?

Glad they found a match.

Now they can finally light a fire and dry off after standing in the rain all that time.

Maybe op wanted yo to get lots of upvotes from your comment.

Uh, ummm, faith in humanity restored, revolutionized, and sent through the roof
pollomagnifico
Humanity. Their compassion knows no bounds. And yet it's still a legion of fucknuts.
wherethehorriblethingsare
I'll bet you a dollar there's not a single person in that line with a net worth over 10 million. Call it a hunch.

This is my new motto

A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals.

People. What a bunch of bastards.
lurkerevolutioncomplete
Only 1 out of 10,000?!
LadyGlitterFlaps
I actually matched as a back-up bone marrow donor in February this year! I didnt end up donating though, so I guess the other person donated
peterhjames
It’s 3 out of 10’000 https://meaww.com/boy-battling-rare-leukemia-perfect-match-stem-cell-donor-10000-people-oscar-saxelby-lee
thepunnypenguin
That’s why it’s so important to be a donor! Be the Match is fantastic. I was choice 2 and they kept me informed and gave me the plan.
SkiingGiraffe
I guess it lives up to being rare
ExTechOp
The are never a "perfect" match, but they went through everyone and selected the three closest matches to minimize immune system reactions.

Humans have 224 MHC genes spanning 3.6Mb pairs, we know about ½ functions. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_histocompatibility_complex
zanaria
To be fair, if they found a match with the first person they likely werent going to go through all of the other 9,999
GodzillaHarddiskson
They probably would check a few more, having a few options probably isn't a bad idea
shimmerkitten
TheS4ndm4n
It takes a few days to get the results from the lab.
mooseablethenok
Good match vs better match is a thing.
OverMyDadBody
It is probably not an instant test, they took samples from all then ran all in the lab for a match in a batch
MarkySpaceMagnet
There are different degrees of matching, with that pool size of potential donors the smart thing was to check them all.
MarkySpaceMagnet
Besides there is more than one patient needing help, if they find other matches, the more the better
asm80dfa8sdfj
They got 3 actually
zanaria
I highly doubt they got a match on the 1st one, I was meaning they wouldnt go through them all if they got what they were looking for.
swellguy18
They likely would in case there were complications with the first. Don't put all your eggs in one basket and all that.
youknowwhyimhere6969
Because they just want points. They could care less about the cause or whose affected
izme1000
And for that they won't get mine.
hairlessOrphan
Who cares if they get points, though? Keep it on FP for the rest of us!
IDanceNakedInFrontOfMyPets
*couldn't care less
HalfPintKatie
No, *could care less* is grammatically correct.
highlikeacrow
Lol, no
IDanceNakedInFrontOfMyPets
Yeah, that's not how the expression goes.
IDanceNakedInFrontOfMyPets
If you could care less, it implies that you care. Couldn't care less=don't care
