How would you determine who gets a kidney?

[rawhide]

Well, I do not have to decide. But this smacks of what we will see under obamacare. Palin was right, death panels are coming. Also organ panels. A panel will decide who gets what and when. It is already happening in England.

I can understand giving an organ to one who would benefit the most, but this has to apply to rich and poor alike.

This kind of decision-making has been going on since transplants became feasible. I do not believe however that such an arbitrary guideline has ever been applied. As far as I know it has always been a decision made on a case by case basis.

These people are proposing a change in policy, which is a harbinger of those Death Panels which supposedly will not exist.
