>My dad has diabetes his kidneys are one of the big problem areas. He was just told by his doctor he will probably
need to go on dialysis within two years. He is too old to have much chance of getting a transplant.

Up here they can't deny a kidney transplant based soley on age because of a court challenge. Though with advanced years comes ill health which means that the chances of the person being healthy enough for a transplant operation drops. BTW, sorry to hear that.
