It's incredibly sad to hear someone die of a preventable cause this young, but I can also somewhat relate with the people who reviewed her application.
If a living donor wouldn't have been sufficient, they've now created two patients where they previously had one, and without improving the primary patient's condition. It makes sense that a donor organ from a deceased donor would be preferable.
That said, the current requirement for the patient to meet deceased donor standards for transplantation to be eligible to use a willing living donor make no sense. Both situations should have their own unique criteria, given that a living donor situation involves different risks for both the patient and the donor than a deceased donor situation would incur.
Ultimately this whole situation boils down to a scarcity situation though. If we want to solve this, it will require more people to register themselves as a donor and a review of the eligibility criteria as soon as more donors are available.
I'm sorry to hear that. And yes, it's depressing to see these "privitization will save us all" types destroy public services using the same old playbook of "defund, defund, defund, point out the issues after decades of defunding, then start to slow-roll private options until the public service has been fully hollowed out" everywhere.
This might be a bit sensitive of a question to ask, but what country are you in? Because I've lived in several western European countries and the access to healthcare wildly varies between them. Especially countries that've "enjoyed" a multitude of conservative/right wing governments over the past three decades seem to have really embraced enshittifying healthcare access and affordability while pushing an American-style private system as the "solution".
How is this so accurate?
We never thought about it, but of our three cats, the girls are named after a goddess and an empress, while the boy cat is named after a Starbucks menu item.
Thanks for sharing these gems. I can almost feel the exasperation in some of the emails and their replies.
Red Bull looked at that and said "hold my energy drink while I create crashed ice"
That last line captures exactly what I think they were going for. This was about as faithful of a Deadpool comic book as you could've made within the medium of movies.
There is a market for movies that make you think as much as there is a market for movies that are just about spectacle.
Calling one more true to the art of cinema than the other does a disservice to the medium and all the expressive, creative, and entertainment potential it holds.
Calling it the death of movies is so hyperbolic, it is beyond nonsense and frankly smacks of elitism.
Still trying to get through Animal Well. The cat disc keeps tripping me up as I need to make it to the final flame with the fake disc.
Also picked up Tears of the Kingdom again, trying to complete all the shrines.
It's not classic rock, but Black no.1 (little miss scare all) by Type O Negative would be a decent fit too
What can they do? How about making the cellular models modular? 3G goes bust? Swap the modem for a 4G one next time the car is in for service.
Hint
The name of this song is also a Celtic Frost album title.

First hint at 24 hours
Since it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The crown is important
Second hint at 48 hours
Someone already guessed the band's name. And there is a reference to the song's title in both this picture and the lyrics .
Answer
Heavy lies the crown by Orange Goblin.
Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear
We stand for truth and honour And on the morning tide We head to war together Beneath the Northern sky And Odin's ravens lead us on to victory.

Hint: This band tragically lost their guitarist in a car crash (driving a Mazda RX7-FD at the time). They eventually broke up and now tour as an orchestra playing symphonic Christmas music.
[24 hour hint] Since this is a pretty difficult one, here's a big hint: The band is named after a poem by John Milton.
[Solution] This was a hard one due to the genre, but I loved how the AI captured the two states the subject of the song finds himself in by using the heaven and hell imagery side by side and the depiction of the long stairwell to absolution. Nowhere in the song does it explicitly mention heaven or that ascension, but it does capture the protagonists journey from fear and self-doubt to letting to and wondering why they ever felt that way to begin with quite well.
As it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The clock and what it represents is extremely relevant to the topic of this song.
[Update] Good guesses everyone. The link with Meatloaf is that he and Iron Maiden have a song that shares the same title (Heaven can wait), and the link with The Hu is that Iron Maiden will be touring the US this year with The Hu as support.
This is one of the few sequels I'm genuinely excited for. Constantine was such a good movie.
