I was glad to see you battling with some pithy comments r.e. the transplantation. I did not have the stomach for it. The "non person" reference by one person sent me over the edge. Let's hope all the publicity will help more than one family.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-62997799187509473572012-01-18T10:33:12.634-08:002012-01-18T10:33:12.634-08:00Thank you for adding your voice to this.

It is my hope that things will change more rapidly and people who make decisions about issues like "quality of life" and "life worth living" will think twice about their actions. Failure to appreciate the sanctity of life and equality of all people will spread like a wildfire and it won't be possible hide discrimination. There are many advocates out there...now united by a phenomenon which didn't exist...the Internet, blogging, facebook and other social media. There is no hiding NOW as stupidity quickly becomes viral. New hope springs across the "net" as it has become a unifying and powerful force unavailable several decades ago.Phil Dzialohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150881545903849250noreply@blogger.com
