Umm, too obvious?

The liver does regenerate but live liver transplants are very rare. Mostly kidneys done when the donor is alive

I’d suggest you learn the difference between plagiarizing, memorizing, and research and writing.

But you’ll get a lot more out of just not being a tool-bag first.

Lol if you actually have mass representative biographies memorized I suggest turning off the tv and going for a walk while pondering life choices

I miss winter

Please let me know precisely where I plagiarized this from when you get a chance, professor.

I’ll be sure to do post-comment research then copy and paste a novel from Wikipedia next time

Kidney donation knocks off 2 years. Heart, released immediately and your record is expunged.

And you should use commas and periods.

True, that's what IOP is intended for- as a step-down from inpatient. But I've seen situations where people walk into IOPs off the street for whatever reason- no inpatient beds, insurance says they only qualify for IOP, they don't want to stay there 24/7, etc. We don't actually know the reason in this situation.

Thank you- by reading the law, I’m surprised at the lack of clarity and that no parent advocacy groups have tried to sue or otherwise take legal action to grant access.

I think what I am looking for is the clear verbiage stating why/how all access is limited- some document that is given to parents explaining it.

>But what you are insinuating that everyone from DAs, to judges to juries are all in on the corruption.

They certainly could be, and the public would always wonder if a given case had gone in favor of the prosecution because someone powerful wanted that defendant's organs.

But this doesn't even have to be a corruption thing. Once you put the idea in people's heads that more prisoners = more organ donations, you bias them in favor of more arrests, more convictions, and harsher prison sentences. You've told them, "even if this person is wrongfully convicted, at least some good might still come out of it." That's probably not enough to drastically shift a juror's decision, but it will shift some percentage of them where the juror was on the fence and that shift will add up to a lot of convictions across a whole state.

>I believe that only violent people, and people that are dangerous to others should be locked up.

Then why are we allowing those violent, dangerous people out early under any circumstances other than a pattern of behavior proving that they are no longer violent? Giving up a kidney or some bone marrow doesn't do that, especially not when there's a contractual payment rendered for your trouble.

My yard is covered in snow. We had 2 stoms last week.

This is legit nightmare fuel. Imagine giving your kidney for not even a year off your sentence.

The bar is at Pain D'Avignon in Hyannis is nice.

Yeah you should’ve used gender neutral

They don’t have to be for profit to be on the business of making money though.

I just sent this text in an email to my state rep. You are welcome to copy it or use a version of it yourself:

>On January 20th, Bill HD.3822 was introduced for consideration by the Massachusetts State legislature. I wish to voice my strident objection to this bill, entitled, "An Act to establish the Massachusetts incarcerated individual bone marrow and organ donation program."
>
>Facially, this bill seems to make sense as a way to empower prisoners to do good deeds that benefit their fellow citizens even while the prisoners remain stuck behind bars, as well as a way to spur badly-needed organ and bone marrow donations. However, it results in a number of perverse incentives at every level of the justice system while weakening the foundations of punishment and should by no means be made the law of the land.
>
>First and most crucially, this bill puts an enormous amount of pressure on prisoners to become the organ bank of society. If given a choice between giving up a kidney and spending a year in prison, most people in desperate circumstances could hardly say no to the option to get out early, particularly if they have dependents. Even without any explicit promises of time off, prisoners would still feel pressured to give organs in the hopes of preferential treatment from the prison, the guards, and parole boards. This concern is explored in greater depth in this NY Times opinion piece from 2013. Essentially, prisoners do not have a meaningful freedom to refuse, not under such heavy levels of implicit and explicit coercion.
>
>Second, the philosophical premise of this bill is an affront to the concept of justice and cannot realistically be limited to organ donation. If prison sentences are meant to be a just punishment befitting the individual's crime, then no amount of extracurricular good deeds could be traded to buy off that punishment. However, if we instead decide that giving up an organ provides sufficient counterbalance to the societal harm that the individual's crime caused, then there would be no reason not to take a sufficiently large check instead. This bill requires us to agree that societal harm and societal benefit are fungible qualities and gives organ donation a specific valuation, but that means we could also assign a particular level of societal benefit to the US dollar and allow prisoners to buy their way out of prison. Imagine a very rich person were to kill someone through reckless driving and received 5 years in prison. Surely $100 million would benefit society vastly more than one individual receiving one kidney, so by the logic of this bill, that rich person could just pay some amount less than $500 million and walk out of jail that same day.
>
>Third, this bill creates a perverse incentive for our entire judicial system to imprison more people and for longer sentences. Imprisoning people is a necessary evil, but it ought not be desirable from a societal level. With this bill, however, we encourage the police to arrest more people, DAs to seek harsher sentences, judges to lean in favor of the prosecution, and juries to default to conviction, simply because a larger and more desperate prison population results in a larger store of donated organs. In extreme cases, this could even result in individuals with rare blood types being targeted by crooked police and hospitals. Even if none of these dystopian circumstances were to occur, the public would be eternally suspicious of them happening in hidden backrooms. We do not need even more reasons to distrust our Justice system right now.
>
>Fourth, none of this even touches on the extremely problematic macro result: if this bill were to go through and none of the other issues arose, we would still effectively have turned a racial minority population into an organ battery for the White majority of the Commonwealth. For reasons that are complex and multivarried, prison populations tend to be disproportionately BIPOC while White people outside of prison tend to have better access to healthcare than their fellow BIPOC citizens. An organ donor would be more likely than average to be a person of color while an organ recipient would be more likely than average to be White. In a time of increasing racial disharmony, the last thing we need is to turn to such ghoulish measures to feed the longevity of those affluent enough to be able to afford the various costs of organ transplant.

>Thank you for your time.

I'm sure it's because the conference venue is half the price to book this time of year (as opposed to May - Oct).

I don't have a problem with it, ethically. Cost, maybe. 1 year Max off a sentence if you have donated marrow or organ. Potential donors would need to be screened and tested in order to be accepted so that's a pretty big filter.

How many people donated blood in high school to get out of class or for a pack of Lorna doones and a juice box?

I feel like this is one of many first steps towards a life like Repo the Genetic Opera...

Unless the recipient is a very young child, my understanding is that the procedure itself isn’t bad. The prep can suck because you have to be sick though.

That's retarded wtf
