Natalie Cole Receives Used Kidney

31. TMZ PLEASE SHOW SOME RESPECT AFTER ALL SOMEONE DID PASS AWAY AND TO SAY SHE GOT A USED KIDNEY IS DISRESPECTFUL TO THE DONORS FAMILY.

32. I saw her on Larry King begging for a kidney. Frankly, I don't care where she got it, but there are people who have been on the kidney recipient list for YEARS. They don't have the luxury of going on TV to plead for kidney so they have to wait.

33. Deserving kidney's has nothing to do with whether anyone is a druggie or not. That's just insane. Miss Cole found a kidney match. It has to match and if it doesn't you can't get one. And good GOD! Move on from the Amy Winehouse thing! It was almost two years ago. Get some rest Miss Cole and get back to some great music! God Speed.

38. Used Kidney!!!!!Someone needs an education in organ donation, being a recipent of a kidney transplant This gift is not taken lightly. It gives a person the gift of LIFE. It shows a caring and sharing person willing to give up an important organ for the survival of another. I praise and thank God for the woman who donated my kidney, The only thing I know is she died suddenly and had requested her organs be donated. I was on dialysis 3 years it is not a vacation or spa treatment, I'm thankful she has one and I truly doubt favoritism was extended. Think before you write maybe there should be a brain transplant offered, you need one.

You hate Natalie Cole? Wow. Are you 12 years old... how childish and hateful. When / if you have children you better pray they aren't drug addicted and subsequently in need of an organ. Wow, such hatred. Clearly there's no God in your life. Anyways, her drug usage was back in the 1970's - 1980's. She kicked her drug habit a long time ago... and by the way, she was never a crackhead.

40. Finally, most of the posters here have stopped posting, "FIRST". Maybe now we can work on the all caps and the exclamation points....

41. Yikes! There are some seriously judgemental people out there with time on their hands to leave comments here. OK... so I have a minute to leave a comment too but mine is neutral/positive. I've discovered that karma is a beeotch! Natalie has turned her life around and has been sober for quite a while. Who here hasn't ever needed a second chance (uh, like a divorce or needed to change jobs, etc.)? I'm not a huge fan of hers but I wish her well so she can continue to be an advocate against drug use. WHO KNOWS what the circumstances were regarding the donated organ? Certainly not us - the average Joes & Marys trolling TMZ. So come on, for once, just be happy for someone else instead of tearing them down!
And like someone else said, be sure to let folks know you want to be an organ donor. I have it on my driver's license - got a $10 discount on my license fee, and will I need my organs when my body is dead? No... but others will. And my aunt is possibly going to need a liver transplant. I know we'll do all we can to get one for her as quickly as possible (no, drinking was not the cause of her disease). Give Natalie a chance... she's one of the few celebrities who has followed thru on statements about helping others in need and those who are facing what she went thru when she was younger (addiction).

43. I can guarantee that the people who are saying things like "stupid drug addict" "she did this to herself" "they should give kidneys to those who don't do drugs"-you people do or have done drugs and you consider yourselves to be liberals and superior.

44. HAHAHA!!! Nice to see celebs getting something "used"!!!!!!

45. Awesome, that didn't take long. Now where were all these donors, and where was all this support when my husbands uncle was on dialysis, and dying, because he needed a kidney. Drug users shouldn't come before people with legitimate medical conditions, ya know, like diabetes. Let this bitch suffer for a while, might teach her, and the rest of the world, a little something about what happens when you needle your drugs. I saw her on TV a few months ago, begging for help in finding a donor.... like someone's gonna shoot themselves in the damn head just so YOU can have a kidney. It pissed me off when I saw it then, and it pisses me off just as much, if not more, now that I see that she actually got one. F*ck you, you rotten b!tch. Quit riding daddy's fame coattails and get a life of your own.
