Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Care

Question by Wolven: List the people who should receive the kidney in order of who deserves it or needs it the most.?
Ok the following list is ten people who need a kidney. This is not real. Purely hypothetical. Normally in medicine they decide off of who is the healthiest and has a better chance of living a long life. These rules need not apply if you do not want them to.

Basically I am giving you free reign to decide how to judge which of these people should get a kidney.

1)A pregnant women with AIDS who works as a prostitute.

2) A member of a militant terrorist group who is in the US and is feared to have been planning an attack on the US.

3) A 40 year old diabetic male who is blind from diabetic retinopathy. (damage to the eye)

4) A 50 year old male in prison for murdering his pregnant wife 15 years ago.

5) A 35 year old mother of 3 girls who has breast cancer. She has been treated for a year and is not cured but the chemo has destroyed her kidneys. Cancer has spread to her lungs and possibly bones.

6) A 44 year old male alcoholic who has had no success with AA or any other form of treatment for his alcohol problem.

7) 70 year old female with severe osteoporosis and fractured hip.
15 year old teen who Over Dosed on drugs. He has permanent brain damage from the OD and is addicted to cocaine.

9) A 35 year old male in prison for rape.

10) 10 year old boy who is blind and deaf and has several other birth defects.

So you decide in which order they should get the kidney. If you can, give your philosophical or even personal opinion on why you ordered them as you did.
This is NOT homework help. It was just mentioned in class and I found it interesting.

I don’t know if i have diabetes or not, as I have some of the symptoms, like urinating often and thirst. however, I don’t know exactly to what extent these symptoms apply, as I can find quantified data nowhere. What exactly is “extreme thirst”. How many times going to the bathroom is “urinating often.” Is “sudden weight loss always a symptom”. Thanks for the help.

Where is a good website that has pumps for people with diabetes. I want it to list a lot of pumps and describe the features. I would also like it to show the picture.

I know urine tests and blood tests could be administered but I was told by someone that urine tests won’t even be able to tell if you have diabetes… that you’ll end up having to get a blood test to determine if you do have diabetes. Then what’s the point of getting a urine test?
Thanks in advance
