I'm no lawyer but it seems to me that a legal representative of the child...perhaps one appointed by a court...could challenge this ruling in court.
Perhaps even on an "urgent" basis.
The sins of the father are being visited upon his son. Not cool Emory University Hospital. Not cool at all.
This is nuts. A judge should have the father go to the hospital to donate and recover, then handle whatever probation issue. He won’t be going anywhere for a while after having a kidney removed.
Their refusal to allow the operation to continue is just wrong. Police could easily take dad to the hospital with armed guards to allow the surgery to proceed. The 2 year old innocent son should not be the one punished for the actions of his father when the operation could take place. I think the hospital is being absolutely obtuse. Like the mother said this is about the 2 year old, not the father, and I for one agree with her.
I thought it was the patient a doctor was to care about first.
Poor kid. :(
The father is the donor. That is why the tie-up.
The father has been in and out of jail his whole life.
this doesn’t compute
if the baby needs the transplant, the hospital and parole people have NO BUSINESS delaying or getting in the way!
if that child dies, these folks need to be Prosecuted, based on the limited facts I can gather from the report anyway
This has nothing to do about Dad and everything about the son who needs this operation. Id sue them for everything they got!
Here is my question, can a adult even donate a kidney to a two year old child????
Double tap to the head.
- Transplant one kidney.
- Keep the other on ice until needed.
Problem solved.
