Jamie Yeo, a famous local host of sport channel, was born with only 1 kidney. She revealed it in her blog. She wrote:
If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!I’ve been following the ongoing controversy involving the legality of organ donation with much interest due partly to the fact that I have renal agenesis. It’s nothing serious. It just means I was born with a single kidney. The condition is actually quite common as it occurs in one out of 750 people. And even though there are no serious or fatal long-term problems for people with one kidney, I can’t help but empathize greatly with those who are in a situation where they need a kidney or an organ transplant because theirs isn’t working anymore. Obviously, my empathy arises from the fact that I’m in a rather precarious situation because unlike “normal” people, I don’t have another kidney to fall back on in case one fails.
