THE TRANSPLANT SURGEONS SPEAK OUT ON ARIZONA'S CUTS

The data used by the Brewer administration to deny transplant operations is faulty, according to The American Society of Transplant Surgeon on Thursday.  Their conclusion:

"Transplantation is not experimental -- it is accepted, beneficial care for patients with end stage organ failure," Dr. Michael Abecassis, the group's president, said in a written statement. "We cannot dictate what the Arizona lawmakers will ultimately decide, however we can unequivocally state that the cuts in transplant coverage will result in the unjustified and needless death of Arizona citizens."
