Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 One vote against it shouldn't be enough. Or even two. Didn't you say she was evaluated, told to lose a set amount of weight, did, was told to lose more, and did that. This indicates that she's been thinking about this for long time, had an easy way out, and persevered. Call for a complete team meeting. And, if necessary, a meeting of the hospital's ethics committee. I applaud their caution, but think you -- and the potential donor -- can fight this. Worst case scenario, there are other centers.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Peggy, I don’t understand that either. You’d think they would have thought about all this before she was tested – those tests aren’t cheap or easy to go through. I always thought as far as donors went - younger was better. Well, maybe her hep’s one vote won’t be enough to stop the process. You still have all the other doctor’s, nurses and coordinators who get to vote.
