I've often heard that US colleges have some kind of rule that basically makes it easier for minority groups to enter, minority groups being almost everyone that it not white. How do you feel about people getting into college because they're "1/16th Cherokee", and how do you feel about those people in general? Have you ever met someone who claims to be practically native because one of his great-grandparents was?

Do you still remember when and where exactly that was? I'm in Japan right now and I'm always looking for stuff like that.

Is the disease genetic? If so, what are your thoughts on having kids?

You also mentioned feeling a little guilty at times about how many transplants you were able to receive. Have you even thought about stopping, about letting the organs go to another person, simply giving up?

Thanks for these insightful answers!

I've had general anesthesia before. I was given the anesthetic intravenously. How come I got the feeling that I could taste it? It "tasted" like banana, but also a little metallic. The weird taste was still there when I woke up. What is this sorcery?!
