With one simple form from the government a couple is given special legal protection that not everyone can gain—simply because those who take this institution for granted have barred the door.

By Kristel Clayville

…reference for traditional family models of social support to qualify to be listed for an organ, but I would like to see if that could be expanded to include other kinds of support. This kind of work is an uphill battle. I don’t anticipate changes any time soon. But isn’t it the case that not being a donor just makes the organ scarcity worse? Maybe. But almost all aspects of the economy run on scarcity, either real or imagined. Since I interpret th…
