[blparent] OT but important.

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I signed the petition.  The idea that Amelia Rivera, or anybody for that 
matter, would be denied a life-saving transplant simply because of her 
mental status, in this country, in 2012, is truly horrifying.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
