New pub: Why are #research #bystanders owed protections in publicly funded health research? @charlesweijer and I argue that it’s not for the reasons you might think. @SchulichMedDent @WesternU

Let's keep talking about the wisdom of mandated anonymity in #organdonation in the age of social media
@charlesweijer @KimLeBlancc Dave Allingham @WesternU @TrilliumGift @CNTRP

"Time to drop the outdated and unfair anonymity rule in organ donation" https://t.co/a7rOBzAyak

[David Hartell @davidhartell]

In Quebec, about 50 patients a year who register for organ donation have their families refuse to donate their organs after their death - this works out to about 200 missed transplants. @matthewweiss91 discusses challenges and opportunities to fix the law https://t.co/HrqX0RDAj3

[Canadian Donation and Transplant Research Program @CNTRP]

CDTRP Trainee @NB_Murphy from @WesternU discuss anonymity for organ donors and recipients with Chris dela Torre for the CBC show, Afternoon Drive.

[Afternoon Drive @CBCAfternoonDr]

At 4:18: "Outdated and unfair." That's how @NB_Murphy describes the current legislation surrounding organ donor anonymity. He'll join us to discuss. https://t.co/QKN33TJ9nA

[Nicholas Murphy @NB_Murphy]

Mandated anonymyity in deceased #organdonation is outdated and unfair. Let's change the law in #Ontario!

Leave it to Canada to show how to vaccinate their population.
First, despite a late start, they exceeded the % 1st dose ceiling set by Israel.
Now on a tear for 2nd dose, and moving faster than any other major country or EU
