You have to wonder though if that kind of crazy is contagious.

I personally liked the story about the 105 pound woman who completed a 91 pound clean and jerk wearing mooselimb hijab. Tough little Lady that!

Don’t think transplant teams take shooting victims as donors.

“Don’t think transplant teams take shooting victims as donors.’
That would be irrational.
Severe shortage of organs, steady source, donor cards filled out = Take the organs.
Would organs from a terminally ill patient somehow be “Better”, and if so, exactly how?
This is supposed to be medicine, not emotion.

If a person’s going to check themselves out of the remainder of life, at least they’ve been proactive about helping out other’s who are fighting to live. Her one life lost can help multiple lives continue.
