Description

This Access Excellence activity focuses on the allocation of scarce medical resources. Using the case of Charlie Four Star, a young Native American girl who fought for and received a multiple organ transplant, the activity forces students to think critically and effectively as they attempt to determine what is fair for the individual requiring an organ transplant while at the same time establishing policy for society in general.
