Personally, I am all for it! :clap_1: Imagine all of the disfigured soldiers, accident/burn victims, that could have such better lives! What about the kids with congenital birth defects, accidents/ burns, etc., and all of the cruel remarks and mistreatment, they endure daily! From not only other kids, but adults too! Don't they deserve a chance, for any sense of normalcy

?

I lost a child at 10 mos. old, brought him home on oxygen and tube feeding, in and out of hospital, till he died. I did all humanly possible to give him any "sense of normalcy", that I could. Even if either of my sons chose to do this, I would support them! I don't feel that we can judge what's "best" for someone, till we've walked in their shoes! God willing, we never will!

However, I wholeheartely agree that extensive testing is necessary and only those found to be a "good candidate for best outcome", should be accepted. Obviously, this will eliminate alot!

I also feel, that the Donor's wishes should be honored and respected. I am a life long Organ Donor and will now offer my entire body, to others. Heck, I'll no longer need ANYTHING! I'll simply be above, with a smile! :razz:

I wasn't even talking about his scars. I didn't even know he had any until somebody else mentioned it.

I was referring to his dark hair and mustache. You glance at him really fast they do look alike.

So please don't take anything I said the wrong way.
