I don't know how to do a link to the news item, but they are reporting that doctors are discussing changing the rules so that younger healthier people would get a kidney over older and less healthy people regardless of wait time on the transplant list.  Very interesting to think about.  So many mixed feelings.....

Read the proposal.  You can't sum it up in 5 seconds on HLN.
