22 year old too smart for a heart transplant case
Thomas Talbot, 22, with an IQ of 73 faces a state rule denying aftercare needed for a heart transplant at Children’s Hospital Boston. His lawyers from Disabilities Rights Center argue the lack of aftercare jeopardizes the transplant, while the state cites no magic IQ cutoff and cites broader qualification criteria. A hearing decision is expected by Friday.
