Abstract:
It would be possible to refute any comment or finding that suggests a transplantation problem intrinsic to race with any data available today. Reliable studies that consider education, income, access to competent care, and ability to understand and interpret instructions are badly needed. Those of us who have cared for large numbers of the poor commonly acquire a great respect for the almost noble way many face severe or chronic illnesses. Many times, these people approach self-sacrifice in order to protect or provide for their families or dependents. We need to place less effort in considering if a person is black, Scot, Mexican, Arabic, and so on and more effort providing good education and access to economic independence to the underprivileged in our society. Thus, I end as I started. There are no transplantation issues related to race. There are only transplantation issues related to human beings.
