Re: A bioethicist weighs in: Was Cheney too old for a transplant?

I forgot. English is your second language.

The normal cut-off for transplants is 70. Cheney is 71.

There is a long waiting list for hearts. Younger people have died while waiting. The one Cheney got could have gone to a younger, healthier person with a better life expectancy.

(I know English is not your second language. I was just trying to make you look good in the subject line. Simply a thoughtful kindness on my part.)
