Hey everybody, read earlier today Dick Cheney got a new heart transplant. My question is, " Was the donor still alive when it was taken?"

and? does anyone think he got it fraudulently? i read on a news page an anonymous person send it to him.
so u think he had a suitable donor killed for a heart transplant? if so what made you come to this conclusion?
That fucker was on the list for 20 months and he got one...does anyone know how long it takes to get off a heart transplant list?? Like 3 to 4 years!! He definitely paid his way up and honestly, I bet you can shoot a fuckin dart at that list and find someone more deserving than him...
I wonder if the heart will reject Cheney? But speaking of organ transplants, if Cheney wants that graft to take, maybe he better start toking!

they have not been sentenced to death, they were denied priveleges. big difference. lots of people are denied transplants, there simply aren't enough good organs to spare.
Heh, I guess the ice in his veins finally thawed and he had to pull one of his cryogenic back up hearts from his man sized safe.
It doesn't go in a chronological list. The way it works is the next person in line is the person who matches all of the criteria of the available donor is the person who gets it. One person can be on the list for years, without ever finding a suitable donor. While the next person can be on the list for just a matter of 2-3 months, but if a suitable donor comes a long, and that person is next, that's who the transplant will go to. I have a family member who received a heart/lung transplant 3 months after being put on the list, while people in her support group had been on the transplant list for years without so much as a phone call. She didn't buy her way to the top, she just happened to fit all of the criteria needed for the available organs. I'm certainly not a fan of Dick Cheney, and perhaps he did "buy his way to the top". I'm just saying that what you described is not how it works.
