Bob Aronson posted a discussionArizona Medicaid Patients Denied Organ Transplants
Cutting funds that causes people to die is no way to solve budget problems. That's what Arizona did when Governor Jan Brewer signed a measure that cut organ transplant funding for 98 Medicaid patients. This unconsciouable display of cruelty cannot be allowed to stand. It must be reversed or before we know it the same thing will be happening in every state and you or your loved ones could be affected. Governor Brewer said the state didn't have enough money to fund the $1.4 million program but…See More

ORGAN Transplantation Initiative (OTI)
We exist to ensure that anyone who needs a transplant can get one either through organ donation, organ regeneration or mechanical organ replacement.
Bob Aronson posted a blog postCloned Organs In the Near Future. No Rejection, No Drugs.
(Bob Aronson, the author of this blog, received a new heart on August 21, 2007)People who need an organ transplant face two hurdles; one is the limited availability of organs and the second is the possibility that if you do get an organ your body might reject it.First let us discuss the donor issue. Since the national Organ Transplant Act of 1984 The United States has depended on the altruistic motive for obtaining organs. That means we must depend on people becoming organ donors voluntarily…See More

Bob Aronson posted a discussionFacebook destroyed my organ transplant group
In mid September 2010 Facebook destroyed my group Organ Transplant Patients, Families and Friends by sending out thousands of bogus emails to my 2300 plus members. Some got as many as 120 of the same email. Facebook was totally unresponsive to my repeated requests to fix the problem so after about 4 days I was forced to shut down the group to stop the Facebook caused spamming. Now I have started over with a new Facebook group and a new name. ORGAN Transplantation Inititative (OTI) exists for…See More
Bob Aronson replied to Christine's discussion Organ donation in different cultures"I tried to take the survey but it is apparently closed. I did write a blog on how different cultures are affected by the organ shortage in the U.S. www.bobsnewheart.wordpress.com. I hope this is helpful to your effort.

Bob Aronson posted a blog postWhat Minorities Need to Know About Organ Donation and Transplantation www.bobsnewheart.wordpress.com
February 25, 2009In the past my posts have been very general about the need for and benefit of organ donation. Today, though, I want to be more specific and discuss how minorities are affected by organ donation and transplantation.There is some evidence to indicate a reluctance to donate by minorities is based on what they believe is unequal treatment – minorities giving up organs for rich non-minorities. The facts are clear – more members of the minority population will benefit if there is an…See More

Thanks God bless.
Mrs Stella.
