Basically the lesson I am getting from all of this is that messing with organ allocation on a case-by-case basis is a terrible idea, and that it's better for a person to lose out to the system (which is at least designed to be as fair as they can make it) than to lose out because of individual case level interference.

Is that the lesson? If things had turned out the other way*, would we say that the lesson to be learned is that public pressure and media campaigns to mess with organ allocation on a case-by-case basis is a good idea? *Assuming we even heard about it, which we probably wouldn't since "another year passes and teen doesn't go on a crime spree" isn't headline news

I'm glad the mods are taking a hands off approach to this thread, it's really making a big difference

CharlestheHammer posted:I think the lesson we have learned is poo poo happens and sometimes poo poo doesn't work out. Yes. Although I would go further and say that even when everyone is acting in the way they think is the best way to advance a good cause things can still end up going to poo poo. Seriously, nobody did anything particularly heinous: the kid's parents did what any good parents would do in their situation, the activists tried to correct what they felt was an injustice, the hospital tried to navigate a goddamned minefield as best they could by first denying a questionable patient for legitimate reasons (non-compliance with medication) and then reconsidering that decision in the wake of new factors (public outcry and the kid apparently complying fully with the medication requirements), and the kid straightened up and complied with the medical requirements for the transplant. If the kid hadn't gone back to being a shitass thug rear end in a top hat after the transplant this would've been a non-story. But he did, and since this isn't loving Minority Report or whatever, that sort of thing happens. Sucks for anyone who didn't get a heart because of this kid seeming to straighten up and fly right only to go back to being a junior dickhole gangsta, and it sucks for anyone who suffers from the fallout of this story in future.
