Long article, interesting....but "To expand the liver pool, transplant centers routinely use organs that would have been rejected years ago." Says it all!

Reminds me of that old saying..

The patient died, but the operation was a success.

If this was a socialized system I might believe it but a free market medical system where profit is a consideration would never....on second thought.

Hospitals have become human chop shops.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Organ transplants are a profit-center.

It doesn't matter whether they do patients any good or not.

They generate revenue for the surgeon, hospitals and organ-donation industry... that's all that matters.

WOW! So far this morning I’ve been told that the entire police force in the entire US is corrupt, everyone in the country is out to kill Christians and now, the medical community wants me dead. Did I accidentaly log on to the Twilight Zone version of FR? Or, maybe I haven’t been paying enough attention to the attitudes here... I think I’ll hunt up a jihad site, where things are a bit calmer. You guys are getting scary.

I thought I recognized your name as a writer for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. I enjoy your writing.

Wooing the Scots-Irish

As a voting bloc, the Scots-Irish respond passionately to five things: the right to bear arms, the preservation of family, a love of country, a respect for life and success in war.

The neoCOMs have a tall order:

They deplore the Second Amendment.
They want to wreck traditional families.
They accuse America for all the evil in the world and worship the United Nations.
They want unrestricted access to abortions.
They want a repeat in Iraq of the disaster they enabled in Vietnam and its neighbors.
