Have you ever messed up badly and didn't realized how big of a mistake it was until after? Do you ever wish you could take most mistakes back with the snap of a finger? Not only do you have your own conscience constantly judging you and bringing you down, but so is everyone else. This seems like the case for Anthony Stokes. Anthony Stokes is 15 and was rejected a heart because of behavioral problems. Sounds odd, right? The hospital shouldn't deny Anthony Stokes a new heart.

The hospital was completely wrong because Anthony was only 15. He might have made mistakes, but doesn't everyone? The most important thing to realize is if we've learned from the mistakes. At 15, most people make many mistakes that helps train us to make right desicions. I am 16 right now and I am still learning alot about mystlf and the world. I still have a lot to learn!
Yet maybe a pinch of race is involved. "According to Office of Minority Heatlh reports, 14% of blacks are waiting on a transplant compared to 27% of whites." Do people think that African Americans aren't responsible enough to care for something? Or are blacks getting into more trouble and being judged for it? Maybe it's a bit of both. Still, Anthony Stokes will probably treat his heart right because he will appreciate life much more than ever. He will learn alot and will hopefully be given a second chance. He will learn that every bad desicion will eventually lead to a bad outcome. There is no reason he shouldn't have a second chance at life, especially since he's only 15 years old.
