[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, she should be denied an unrelated transplant from the organ donation matching system. i am betting that the hospital "denying" her a familial live donation has much more to do with her as a surgical risk than anything else; i think she is probably a poor candidate to undergo the surgery/anesthesia/post-operative course with immunosuppressiive meds/etc and the parents are hung up on the part that she couldn't get on the national list, so are getting media attention for that.[/quote]

I can't believe how many people are defending the hospital in this situation.  It's scary!  I suppose you think her mother is lying, but based on the explanation her mother says she was given she was not denied because she is a surgical risk (which lots of people getting transplants are, by the way, they don't tend to be healthy people in general hence needing a transplant) she was denied because she is mentally retarded.

And they have already said they want to find her a family donor.  If in fact they did deny her because she has an intellectual disability and if there were a donor in her own family do you still think it is moral to deny her care?  [/quote]
