On the flip side, transplant given to person who follows medical advice

She did several people a solid over the course of her senseless battle for the hill that she died on.

Bet she wasn't an organ doner though.

You didn't want those organs anyway. Lotta diseases in there

Fact is, there's more people in need of transplants and simply not enough viable organs to go around.

I'm not going to fault the transplant committee for denying someone over a vaccine. Simply, why give this very finite and very precious resource to someone when they're just going to go get themselves unalived over something as dumb as a 100% preventable disease or something just because they have a brain malfunction that makes them think vaccines are bad. Especially when so many other people are literally dying without the same organs, who are more than happy to follow doctors instructions to ensure they can live a long and prosperous life with the replacement they desperately need.

It's all rather silly.

The thing that probably bothers me the most about organ transplants in general is that if cloning research and stem cell research was allowed to proceed properly, it's entirely possible that science could find a way to grow you a replacement of your own organs.... Apart from genetic problems causing organs to fail, it would almost completely eliminate the entire demand for organs. But no, some idiots don't want cloning because it upsets their imaginary friend.

On a related note, go fill out your donor card people. Even if you're one of those "nobody will want my organs" type of people, do it anyways. The transplant people will figure out if your organs are viable when you no longer need them anymore. Let them figure that shit out for you. Just check the box to be a donor and don't think about it any further.

Nope. That's why the courts allow transplant coordinators to require that you be vaccinated. This vaccine was so incredibly safe that it's ridiculous that she chose to die rather than getting it. I mean, literally the worst thing that could have happened to her because she got the vaccine happened to her because she didn't get the vaccine.
