Getao posted:wait I'm confused. These events were almost two years after the heart transplant -- is that enough time for us to say that he was compliant taking his drugs? apparently he was non-compliant before getting the transplant, which was part of why he was denied one originally

b0lt posted:How about a compromise? Only people who have committed to donate their organs already are eligible to be organ recipients. Can organs be donated twice? Like say if I got a new liver because my old one was wrecked in an industrial accident or something that wasn't my direct fault (i.e. I wasn't Mickey Mantle), could I "pass it forward" when I died?

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.
