Transplant Issues

A knitting friend has written in her blog about a transplant issue that boggles my mind...
I especially feel the pain from this on several levels.  One I have someone very dear to me waiting on a transplant list...
Two I too get to go on luxury trips to these amazingly expensive convention hosting Hotels.  So here is the pot calling the kettle black... My trips are paid for by Pacemaker corporations...
The same issues apply though... lack of money where it is needed most...
Of course buisness's need to make profits, and non profits...don't be fooled make money for the people who run them... naturally they need to make a living too. 
Politics aside isn't the person waiting for assistance the true and final issue? 
here is the link to my friend's blog:

I only know what is in my heart...
Organs need to go where needed as fast as possible...

Wow, Anne. That is hard to stomach! Very disillusioning and disappointing! And, as another commenter said on your friends blog, now I can't un-know this information. I know a couple of people on waiting lists. They are seniors and will probably not get what they need in time, but it must just make your blood boil, thinking of your son. I will keep on expecting the Universe to provide for him, and to work around these greedy corporate weenies!

Thank you so much for sharing this information that needs to get to the public. I am also a pot calling a kettle black as my daughter loved all the perks (hotel suites with 4 star chefs preparing her special meals, etc.) but the heart breaking phone calls she would get from parents were more than she could bear. We also have family members who can't even get on the list so it seemed to an issue someone needed to address. I am getting responses from the OPOs so thanks again!
