“because the agencies refuse to refuse liver transplants to long time alcoholics or drug addicts, I won’t sign up to be an organ donor..”
Murderers, pedophiles and rapists serving time are eligible too.

I think the truancy issues and his juvenile record were not moral factors in the decision at all, but practical factorsI think that was the whole point. Will he comply? PROBABLY not given his history.

A favor or benefit given to one person, is a favor or benefit taken from or denied to another... My point too.

because the agencies refuse to refuse liver transplants to long time alcoholics or drug addicts, I won't sign up to be an organ donor.. but be prepared to have NO CHOICE because pretty soon it'll be required that you OPT OUT in writing if you don't want to be a donor...
If I could direct my bodily parts to specific people....like children or young people in general...I would do it in a flash...
Agree with all, this has been NP policy for decades now.

I want to know why his heart is shredded to begin with. If its drug use, Lean or something like that, then it seems hes a bad risk.Exactly. What is the diagnosis for the heart problem and how long has he had it? If he's had the problem for years, then how the heck was he well enough to have a juvy record? Or was the problem caused by drugs, a stabbing, a fight, etc. due to his own behavior? Wonder who called the board to make them move him into the #1 spot.

Im hoping his parents and other responsible adults step up and make this kid behave. STOP. Just STOP. You cannot make a "kid" of 15 behave. A fifteen year old is someone old enough to work and drive a car in many places around America.
Since they couldn't make him go to school or avoid a juvenile record by 15, what are the chances things will go differently from no on?
It seems unlikely he'll appreciate what a new heart means. I'd be content if we did away with transplants entirely. You get what you came in with, for better or worse, and nothing else. I used to be an organ donor but no more.

Basically, we’re seeing Obamacare already kick in with the predicted favoritism towards favored minorities and members of favored political parties. Want a new heart and you’re not a poor black inner city yute, well, you damn well register Democrat and donate some big bucks to the right Democrat campaigns.

To: Pinkbell
but hes still a 15 year old kid who is dying.Yes and it's really sad, BUT HIS GETTING THE ORGAN WILL MEAN SOME OTHER 15 YO KID WILL DIE. And that's even more sad because the transplant committee bent the guidelines because of being maumaued.

He'll be dead within in a year from either gang violence or failure to follow post-surgery instructions.
His family will then whine & wail that he was a good kid, an aspiring rapper studying for his GED and his demise was whitey's fault.

He'll be dead within in a year from either gang violence or failure to follow post-surgery instructions.Most likely failure to follow instructions OR he'll spend his medicaid drug money on recreational drugs. And it will be no loss to society if he dies in a year. The loss will take place in the next couple of weeks when he gets a hears, and someone without an ankle monitor dies because they didn't get the heart.
