Teen heart transplant recipient dies in chase with the cops.

So much fail here. I say the mom ought to be made to pay pack every last cent it took to perform the heart transplant. Somebody more deserving should've got that heart.

Quote:

A suburban Atlanta teenager who received national attention two years ago after doctors turned down his request for a heart transplant was killed Tuesday in a high-speed police chase.

Anthony Stokes, 17, of Decatur, Georgia, received a transplant to replace his failing heart in August 2013 — but only after a hospital reversed its decision denying him a spot on the transplant list because of his brushes with the law.

Doctors rebuffed Stokes because he had a "history of noncompliance," and they did not think he would take his medications or show up for follow-up appointments, Stokes' mother said. The hospital changed its mind after his mother accused doctors of punishing her son for a history of run-ins with the law.

Well put pig ...

But the real question is was he an organ donor and could that heart fit into someone else?

This is really sad. What a selfish punk.
