[quote=Anonymous]I think the answer to the question regarding intellectual disability is no, unless the patient is so disabled that they are completely unable to get any enjoyment out of their lives, no, intellectual disability should not be the basis for denying an organ transplant. I am assuming that, given that this child's eligibility is undoubtedly being reviewed by multiple doctors and CHOP officials at this point in light of the publicity surrounding the issue, and CHOP's decision is still not to do the transplant, there is likely more going on here than the child's intellectual disability. However, putting myself in the parents' position, I think it would be impossible for me to accept that nothing more could or should be done for my child.[/quote]
