Shorter people not given as many lung transplants as taller people

According to this article at medicinenet.com back in November of 2015, shorter people can die waiting for a lung transplant, while taller people get a transplant a lot easier.

It was suggested before that the lungs from a  taller person wouldn't work in a shorter person but the doctors can reduce the size of the lungs and implant them into a shorter person and they will work just fine.  This, according to Dr. David Lederer, an associate professor at Columbia University Medical Center.

We will see if this trend continues or if changes are made and shorter people are given lung transplants as often.

The study was published in the American  Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine on November 16, 2015.

Shorter people being eaten in the Congo; United Nations doesn't care.

Yes, this is true.   These people are referred to as pygmies and have been living in this area for thousands of years.  The Bantu tribe moved into their territory and now are enslaving, beating and even eating these people.  The pygmies are unable to defend themselves. 

According to this video, representatives for the pygmies have been appealing to the United Nations for some help for years and have been told that what is happening to them is not a human rights violation.  They are viewed as subhuman.  Why?  Because they are under 5'0" tall.

Now, look at the video.  They look human to me.

So, next time someone tells you to be quiet about height discrimination because it doesn't compare to other forms of discrimination, simply tell them that they are right.  Because I don't think that whatever group they are part of has been eaten.

Bill De Blasio says: We do not tolerate discrimination

Mayor Bill De Blasio of  NYC signed a bill today that will allow people to use whatever bathrooms they wish.

He said that "we will not tolerate discrimination"...okay. 

Is that why a woman was fired from the NYC Parks Department a few years ago because of her height?

Let's remember this and see what happens when one of us shorter people is once again targeted because of our stature in NYC and every other place that says they don't welcome discrimination.
