that issue is healthcare reform.

I for one would be glad to have trained doctors, etc be able to provide transplants. Now, the insurance companies, well, our rates are so high because we provide free health care at all levels for the entitlement society and young people who don’t want to pay for health insurance.

I disagree. It's a moral issue. Why should everyone but me make money off of my kidney donation. Do you have any idea what a hospital charges an insurance company for a kidney transplant? What the doctor charges?

If it was about saving lives they would be doing it for free. It's about morality, right?

Do you enjoy murdering people? Do you go to hospitals to watch young children awaiting transplant die and do a little dance of joy?

LOL Where did that come from?

Anyone against organ transplants does not haveany.

Please point to where I said I was "against" transplants?

You need help. Go see a counselor to get over your grief. I had nothing to do with it.

Please accept my sympathies for your loss.

I for one am glad we have doctors who are willing to help. We need to reform the healthcare system to avail ourselves of all possibilities.

And, his calling me a murderer was?

It's clear the man needs help. He should seek it from qualified counselors not attack anonymous people on the internet to assuage his anger/guilt.

I will not. I will not allow someone to call me a murderer because he's stricken with guilt/grief.

Outside my family and close friends I don't see any thing but Reptillions in person.

Wow - we must run in very different circles. I see humans everywhere. I can even see Jesus in some of them.
