Maybe if you had debated more intelligently. As it is, you seem like an utter worm.
I looked up a health questionnaire for potential donors. There are many things that could have come up recently in her health situation that may have caused her to change her mind. There's a variety of potential disqualifiers, and perhaps she doesn't wish to share the information. While I think it's foolish, she may have her reasons.
I've determined that I am unable to be a donor.
I must admit, it would be nice if the article pointed to a reason or reason(s) behind the sister's refusal to save her brother's life. Could be something reasonable that I just haven't thought of. As it stands, the article doesn't give a reason, so people will assume she is evil.
I'm sorry for him and his family, but when his sis said no, he should have said thanks anyway and let it go. Accept it like a man.
Instead, him and his wife are whining up a storm.
It sounds like him and/or his wife have been stalking the sis.
The examples and memories he is making for his kids are not pleasant.
He ought to follow his daughter's example.
If it was my brother or yours, and I was a perfect match, I would do it, but I won't condemn the sis for saying no.
Beg to differ...as it is organ donors are prohibited by law to sell their organs for a profit. Donate only is the magic word, and of course it is at will.
Now imagine, the market is deregulated and wide open..."COMA" is coming...

Compared to waking up in a motel, missing a kidney.
Could we maybe send her to Iran or North Korea?...

People are funny about those kinds of gifts. Was working security after work at the County Fair one year, and we thought it would be fun to put a sheep in the Lt's office. We waited until late, borrowed a sheep, put earrings on her and everything, and stashed her in there while he was answering a call across the grounds. He was not amused, strangely enough, and it's amazing what a mess one sheep makes when left to its devices for a short time. We were cleaning up for days, replacing carpet, etc. But it was worth the look on his face...
I can’t imagine demanding such a thing from my sister, let alone running to the press were this demand not met.
The sister in this story or my cousin?
;-)
I will not sign a donor card. I have told my family that they may donate my organs. But I want them to be there to make that decision when they are ready. I don't want anyone not related to me to jump the gun without my family's knowledge.
I imagine you may be a little less hesitant if you or a family member needed a transplant.
Karma with her soul should turn out to be reallllllllly interesting.
