“My point is that this stuff is not a simple matter of supply and demand.”
Then why get on a dying little girl’s case? You make it sound as if she stole the lungs.
I am not on her “case”.
I am only pointing out that someone who was next in line got bumped because of politics or cute factor or what ever.
If there are not enough organs to go around, there is a shortage.
It is complex.
I hope she lives a long fruitful life.
I just hope someone else who was waiting for that lung did not die because of popular opinion.
Well she certainly didn't steal anything. She cut in line so-to-speak. However she probably should have been in that line all along and they simply righted a wrong by allowing her to jump in where she probably would have been all along.
I think these matters should consider a lot of factors. I assume they did that and she is a good candidate to get the lung and they righted a wrong. However if they just did this out of public pressure then that is wrong. Let's hope this doesn't become a popularity context to get organs.
