Study links organ shortage to reluctant families
A study of 10 681 deaths at 23 hospitals in Pittsburgh and Minneapolis finds 16.5 percent of potential organ donors were eligible, but only 40 percent of eligible organ donors and fewer tissue and cornea donors were actualized. Families more often refuse requests than health care workers fail to ask, challenging policy assumptions.

Children to Stay with Adoptive Parents in Indian Adoption Case
A California appeals court halted a Los Angeles Superior Court order and allowed James and Colette Rost to keep their 20 month old twins Bridget and Lucy while challenging the Indian Child Welfare Act. The case centers on whether the Pomo and Yaqui heritage grants an Indian tribe claim to the children. The original ruling had ordered the Rosts to surrender the twins, but this stay preserves the adoptive parents’ custody as federal law is scrutinized.
