WHY are they giving a man who probably has less than a decade left a perfectly good heart?!

8. I agree. My husband died at the age of 78 from kidney failure.

Seven years of dialysis gave him extra time but he was doomed from the moment his diagnosis was made. He was offered a place on the transplant list but he declined because he felt he had lived a long life and that a kidney should go to someone younger, who would have a chance to finish their interrupted lives in good health, to finish raising their children and to accomplish those things they set out to do. It seems Dick Cheney should have done the same, but Dick Cheney is a self-centered sociopath, who is probably afraid to die, cause he really doesn't know what will be waiting for him.

On edit: I forgot to add that most doctors don't like to do elderly transplants because of the risk and also a young organ will go to a younger person really, so the only chance an elderly person has is for another old person do die and leave a health organ behind that would ordinarily not be used because of age. To be fair, it's what Cheney could have gotten, but I doubt it considering who he is.
