[Snoopers-868th]

The more I read the more I am absolutely against the organ program altogether. These zealots in the medical profession cannot be stopped. There is always a serial killer/grave robber somewhere. I am going to be carring one of those NO DONOR cards and I am going to have a medical bracelet stating the same. The tatoo idea was a bit much but it makes one consider it.

I do find it especially coincidental that with zeal they take the organs of a person not even dead to give to a person who WOULD be dead without the organs. Geez, which person has the most value. It is in the eye of the beholder!

Anyone have any links on success rates of the various type of transplants?

See #131, sorry I intended to include you both.

I don't have any statistics, but I have some anecdotal evidence. My cousin had rheumatic fever as a child and his heart was damaged. Gradually it got worse. When he was 43 (with two young children) he had his first heart transplant. Last year that heart finally failed and he had his second. Almost 20 years after he would have died, he lives a very good life today enjoying his wife and his grandchildren. Don't turn against the organ donation programs.
