So, I also forwarded this info to someone in the heart and lung transplant division at my facility and am keeping my fingers crossed.

How do we know that this is for real and not a scam for money?

That's what I was thinking, but I didn't want to be perceived as a Debbie Downer. I'm so internet-jaded, that I my first thought when I see these types of sites is that they are a scam.

I'm willing to send a few dollars there way and take that chance.

If you google, there seem to be a lot of papers carrying the story. Seems like if it wasn't true, someone would have spoken up or exposed them by now.

I thought about that, too, myself being quite cynical. I got the story from CNN.com, if that means anything. I guess if my organization decides to look into this, the truth will be revealed. I would think CNN would fact-check a story like this.

Damn, that's harsh. No money, no transplant. Yet, Octomom gets a free brood.

As bad as I feel for the baby, I feel just as bad for the one that has to die to give him a heart.

Yes...and doesn't the baby need a heart ASAP? And doesn't it have to be a match? So sad...
