[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The disabled community stepped up and advocated on behalf of this family.  the little girl is now on the transplant list.[/quote]

And this is not right, she is not on the "transplant list."  Nor did her parents ever seek to make that specifically happen.  They wanted and still want to use a LIVE FAMILY donor.  The hospital wanted to deny them that because the girl is mentally retarded.  [/quote]

The article does not tell the whole story is regards to this.

A child cannot accept an adult kidney, it is too big. The family wanted to use a CHILD DONOR. This is UNETHICAL. No family should make the choice for small child to give away an organ.

from another article, best quote:

"With scarcity, social factors do count, with every transplant,"

Sorry, this is true.[/quote]

If you want us to believe this is true, that the parents intend to use a child within their family for the donation, then please link to where you read that.  Otherwise that is conjecture on your part.  Adult kidneys HAVE been used and ARE used in children.[/quote]
