My cousin just died from a brain tumor. She was only 38. 2 people have her kidneys and 1 her liver. She’s a better person than you are. My sister has had 2 kidney transplants. One from my mom one from a teenager who died in a car wreck.

Then there's the famous case of Dem Governor Bob Casey of Pennsylvania. In 1993 Casey was diagnosed as needing both a heart and a liver transplant. At the time, average wait was 67 days for a new liver and 198 days for a new heart. Casey, needing both, was put into his own queue for combined heart/liver (where conveniently he was at the front of the list) and got his transplants within 10 hours of being diagnosed.

The donor, Mr William Lucas, had been conveniently bludgeoned to death around the same time they discovered Casey needed a transplant.

The point is, I really don't want to be in critical condition in some hospital at the same time that some VIP, who I'm a tissue match for, needs an organ.
