Do you realize in Mexico they allow NO foreigners to use their organ transplant program. They reserve the organs obtained in Mexico for their own citizens. Do you believe an American has a right to go to Mexico and obtains transplanted organs?

I didn't, but it sounds reasonable. Organ donors are hard to come by, plus organs have a very short window of time in which they are viable. I don't know if anyone has a "right" to transplanted organs, but if a person shows up and needs one, and you've got one that suits them, I won't object no matter what their nationality.

Does this include Latinos in Central America? Mexico requires voters to provide ID on election day, and it has military men patrolling the Mexico/Central America border. It is about time America have the same standards as Mexico.

Despite your claims, organ replacement is *still* in experimental stages.

Don't believe me? Read the authorizations and contracts between patient, family, and medical center...in this case Duke University.

Furthermore, would *you*, or any of your children want to receive an organ from her *after* her body was host to non-capatible organs, which affected her brain (swelling)?
