http://www.wolfhirschhorn.org/2012/01/amelia/brick-walls/Has anybody seen this? A little girl who needs a kidney transplant is being denied one because she is mentally disabled. Their reasoning is that she can't have a full quality of life anyway, and because of her disability, she doesn't have the capacity to take care of herself properly and won't be able to take care of herself down the road when her parents are gone and she eventually needs another transplant.
This really makes my skin crawl. What about the oath doctors take to do everything you can to help a patient? Not to mention, isn't this illegal, considering they are discriminating against her based on a disability?
