Hospital Denies Heart Transplant Because He's Autistic

Neptunus Rex · 08-27-12, 07:32 AM

Gents, In ten years here I've never posted an email in outrage until I read the following story this morning:

As a father of a son with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder, it enrages me to think that if he needed an organ transplant to survive, he would be "unqualified" because of his ASD.

I urge you to go to the site below to sign the parents petition:

Thanks!
