      <![CDATA[This highlights the need to streamline communication to mobilize support for Memphis institutions and projects. The State already crippled the entertainment sector Memphis dominated in the state -- filming -- by refusing funding to compete with Georgia and Louisiana (now, with Nashville on TV, they are considering increasing funding -- interesting), costing Memphis (and Tennessee) the opportunity to film The Blind Side, Footloose, and Memphis Beat.

      <![CDATA[Does anyone think Vanderbilt of all places only has Tennessee patients? They have just as high a percentage of out of State patients as Methodist because both are teaching hospitals.<br>
<br>
This is about Vanderbilt hoarding organs from the State and therefore doing MORE transplants before those organs are made available on a regional level.<br>
<br>
The are multiple reasons why the organ list is organized on a geographic principle.

Oh but it is a "Nashville vs Memphis political thing" if the result of the decisions is a hospital in Nashville benefiting at the cost of a hospital in Memphis.

      <![CDATA[Since organ doning it the topic here, let me recommend that everyone check that box on their driver's license and/or go to <a href="http://www.donatelifetn.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.donatelifetn.org</a> to volunteer to be an organ donor.<br>
<br>
I realize it's your body and your right to use it as you please, but in my opinion, regardless of your religious beliefs, almost all religions see the body as a temporary house for the soul. When you're done with it, you're done with it, whether you're an atheist, Christian, Jewish, etc.<br>
<br>
When I'm done with my body, I hope it can be used to its fullest by anyone else that may have need for its parts.
