[QUOTE="Fenny the Fox, post: 71013313, member: 242027"] Well...sad fact of life -especially when it comes to organ transplants- shortages are an issue. Be that budget for experimental procedures, or direct shortage of replacements. If there are 3, there are three. To be honest, even if we said there were a hundred, we can always expand the list of people wanting to participate. In all trials like that, turning down some people is a fact of life. Sad, but true. So ir surprised me how many people in the replies had an issue with the limit on people that can receive them. That said, here are my thoughts on it: He would, to me, be a definite possible. Healthy, reasonable age. Would possibly do well with the part. Possible, but lower on the list due to her diabetes (poor circulation, additional taxing on immune system, possible lifestyle issues as well [depending on type and onset]). Definitely highest I see for the list of possibles. Young, otherwise healthy. Seems like a prime candidate so far as what we know. Sadly, I would say she is a "no", due to her leukemia - weak immune system is a hazard, and since this is only even experimental, adding such variables knowingly would seem to be rather rash. I would not say NO definitively. But low on the list, due to the age and health issues known. If the paralysis and prior injury is not a mitigating factor in the replacement -and it may well not be- I would say possibly a yes. So I guess that puts me with M2, M1, W1, W3, M3 and "No"s on W2 I figure a possible list is better than a definitive "yes" just in case anyone has unforeseen issues prior to implantation. But if pressed...M2, M1, W1 would be by preference if I was picking. Honestly...I know this was somehow supposed to be a "moral test" but...I just couldn't stop myself from training in school in looking at potential research subjects. I looked at known health and age, not at prior life, career, grades, etc. That said, if pushed on the subject, No. I don't think being a former prostitute (or current one for that matter) should make a difference in terms of your life worth. Nor should juvie, or bad grades, or good grades, or the fact you work for a charity. Or the fact you were a police officer. I am certain I would respect some of those people a great deal for what they did - the paraplegic former cop, the retired surgeon/charity leader, the war hero - but... ...are they then somehow worth more than the life of someone else? I would have a very hard time saying yes to that. [/QUOTE]
