now they've come here to steal our red-white-and-blue organs from gawd-fearin 'mericans!

Well, PD - you tell me - they came here illegally and received a set of organs that didn't go to an American or legal immigrant. How else would YOU word that?

How come nobody was screaming about that before the fact?

Because no one KNEW about it! People HAVE been complaining about illegal immigrants coming here and getting free medical care - feel free to thumb through the previous posts

And why the need for releasing the information about the parent's refusal to donate organs, anyway? You would think that would be private medical information, wouldn't you?

Because it's pretty darned ironic, dontcha think? (apologies to Alanis)

I still think it's pretty presumtuous of those of us sitting here speculating on what they should do to criticize people who've just been through the emotional roller coaster these people have been through. I can tell you that I'd like to I'd be benevolent about it - but more likely I would be as irrational as hell, and in jail over one dead fucking doctor.

This isn't a child that all of sudden was killed by a doctor. It isn't a child that was killed in an auto accident. It isn't a child that was killed by a knife wielding rapist. This child has been sick for years. This child has been dying for years. This child would have been dead years ago were it not for the "fucking doctor" that you rationalize you would be in jail over. American doctors have been keeping this child alive for THREE YEARS, but she's still been a very sick child. People aren't candidates for heart/lung transplant if they're not literally deathly ill - this was NOT a "surprise" death. As callous and as sad as it is, this was an expected death - it was merely prolonged. If anything, the parents have the American medical profession to thank for giving them three extra years with their daughter.

Of course, I realize they are just illegals, and they only reason they came here was to get the big payoff - they're probably just overjoyed with their windfall, right?

Nope - the reason they came here was to prolong the life of their daughter (and look - I'm not even mentioning that they wanted to do it for free...well, OK, I am ). Which they did. They prolonged it for three years. That's probably three years more than they would have spent with their daughter had they stayed in Mexico. Yet we're the mean, hateful, ugly Americans that allowed them to use our facilities, and dare to be appalled that they didn't have the decency to allow THEIR daughters organs donated when one of our own more than likely donated theirs to her. :angry:
