It’s not the doctor’s job to make a decision on how to treat a patient based on his moral worth. It would be a gross violation of the hippocratic oath to do so...

Based on this article, Dr. Busittil did indeed make decisions based on some sort of worth. What the blank the FBI was doing is up in the air.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com their moral worth is irrelevant... their alien status is what counts.

NO American should die because an alien got their xplant.

I was wondering if you read this sentence -

A Los Angeles hospital provided liver transplants to four Japanese gang figures, including one of Japan's most powerful gang bosses, over a period when several hundred area patients died while awaiting transplants, according to a published report.

and then if you read this sentence -

Tadamasa Goto, who had been barred from entering the United States because of his criminal history, was the most prominent transplant recipient.

and then if you thought to yourself, how in the world could Mr. Goto have jumped to the front of the line if he had previously been barred from entering the United States?
