Organ Transplants for Illegal Aliens

If your loved one dies while on a waiting list for an organ transplant, it could be because the life-saving organ went instead to an illegal alien. Silvia Lesama-Santos was originally denied a liver transplant by Oregon Health & Science University because she is not in the country legally. However,

The Oregon chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) took up Lesama-Santos’ case, putting out a statement on Tuesday calling for the hospital to roll back any policy that limits access to organ transplants based on immigration status. “Everyone deserves to have access to life-saving medical care,” the statement reads. “It is inhumane and cruel to deny care to undocumented members of our community. This is an unfair practice that goes against our values as Oregonians.”

Being an American citizen rather than an unlawful foreign occupier counts for nothing, just as rule of law counts for nothing.
