These conversations around medical marijuana will continue, and I think that we will try to find ways, whether they be using edibles or other things, to allow people to be listed and transplanted, the transplant community is always going to be focused on using as many organs as possible.

The people who review our transplant programs, Medicare and UNOS, review us on a periodic basis to make sure we have those criterion and that they're not discriminatory and that we are adhering to them, that being said, there is a lot of local variability allowed in those inclusion and exclusion criteria.

One of the absolute contra indications to receiving an organ was HIV positivity. One of the absolute contra indications to giving an organ was HIV. And, of course, we know now that's not true at all, certainly I think most people now, if not everybody, realize that HIV patients can do quite well after transplant, but.

When government gets involved we can end disease forever. We're talking scale which can only be achieved with the help and expertise of governments.
