Its interesting to think that machinery could replace an organ ;however, there are some set backs. The most major one is you'll be forced to use it for your life , lying silently for hours waiting for your blood to filter. This may seem like a small sacrifice but for people who don't have a home nurse its back and forth from the hospital. I know this personally because my grandfather was on dialysis and for him it was quite a task. The procedure it's self has its own risks , for one your body could reject it. Other reasons could be that the transition puts your body under too much stress and take 100% of a patients effort to recover. But with all this negative association it still must be worth it because it gives people an opportunity to survive.

Dialysis : (is most common for elderly ) is an artificial way for the body to mechanically filter the blood , ridding the body's metabolic wastes. It's direct pourpous to repace lost kidney function in people with renal failure.
