The idea of a group of people politicking over who is next for a heart transplant sounds dreadful.  It sounds just about as dreadful as a Death Panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This movie is set during two points in time.  First, there is the setting of a particularly contentious decision between three patients in desperate need of a heart transplant and a single heart to offer.  Second, there is the setting seven years later, where Dr. Boxer is racing the clock to make the &#8220;God Committee&#8221; obsolete by developing a viable means of transplanting organs from pigs into humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a story about walking the tightrope and balancing the dilemma of a greater good that comes for the price of compromised ethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This movie is sad, thought provoking, and really well produced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Totally recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt6852526\/?ref_=vp_back\">https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt6852526\/?ref_=vp_back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The title of this film struck me as a rehash of the dreaded, and much hyped, &#8220;Death Panels&#8221; during the early days of the ACA debates.
