Around 1997 I had to argue to all of my colleagues that, 'Hey we shouldn't just say that transplants with HIV are out entirely. Look at all this new literature and technology that's coming out. Let's think about it,' so, I would like to think that we were, as a community of transplanters, reasonable and willing to accept new findings and data as we evolve our criteria.

My views have gone more towards allowance of a patient with medical marijuana, documented for a good medical reason, to be allowed to take it without getting penalized for it.
