PITTSBURGH -- AIDS activist, author and playwright Larry Kramer underwent liver transplant surgery and was listed in serious condition Monday.
Kramer's doctors said his condition was improving and was about where it should be after the 12-hour surgery Friday.
Kramer, 66, spent seven months on the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's waiting list. He moved to Pittsburgh in early November to wait for an organ to become available. While many transplant centers oppose the surgery for HIV-positive patients, UPMC's Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute has performed 10 liver transplants on HIV-positive patients since 1997. Eight of the patients have survived. Kramer's HIV has been relatively well controlled, but he suffered from end-stage liver failure caused by hepatitis B.

Peeper, next time you're out trolling for livers you MIGHT want to cut out a personality!
To: BoPepper
If you look up "facetiously" in the dictionary, then you will not find the two statements ironic
Facetiously = Frivolously, Glibly, Superficially -- in your attitude and yet you demand honesty from others?
It appears once again you didn't bother taking your own advice. Happy trolling!

(staring out across a vast landscape of death... bodies, wreckage, smoking craters...)
We posted almost 350 times here...
There were times when the enemy just kept coming...
And we kept firing, and firing, and firing...
We melted the damn gun barrels...
Did we make a difference?
I dunno, I hope so...

"...I have $100.00 and a slightly used (but in otherwise good shape per my doc) liver that says Peeper will not let us have the last word/post in here! LOL..." We might lose the thread before we have a chance to get back to it and 'stay last', but we will not be otherwise defeated!
As long as the thread lives, we'll be riding its tail Sir!

Peep: No current freeper by that name! What did you do to him? lol
To: vikingchick
What did you do to him? lol I think the peepster went to a forum where he might have more success at harvesting livers.
He came here looking for quality organs (since conservatives are generally healthier than leftists), but was obviously disappointed at the quantity of organs he was able to harvest. I think the number is ZERO, although Lord knows how he tried to get DWSUWF's liver.... Peep just couldn't pull it off.
So I suspect that he's back on the third-rate forums, which are infested with disease-ridden leftists. Peepster is probably able to sucker them into "donating" pretty easily, but the "quality" factor just isn't there....

This proves if you have fame and money you can have what you want. I hope that the family of the doner never find out where their loved one's body parts now live!

The man might be and probably is a card-carrying Democrat, but this "give me a new organ, I've burned out my own" attitude is a direct consequence of the libertarian mindset. The libertarian view is that this man's behavior harmed no one but himself--and the possibly all of his sexual partners.
So now we get to subsidize the cost to repair the rot.
Nothing libertarian about that. But then libertarians tend to be sensitive to the sound of liberty and deaf to the sound of external consequences. They really think their behavior imposes no costs on anyone but themselves.
At least when Democrats freeload they know someone else is picking up the tab.
To: Mulder; gussiedup
What will his new name be? That is the question. How about "Yourliverisnotyourown"?
To: Mulder; dwsuwf
Whatever happened to DWSUWF? Come back, Little Sheba!
