She hurries to the old man. A stethoscope brings barely a sound from his chest cavity. Turning to the medical staff around her, she says, "Stabilize him, and prep him for transplant."

When the kids brought the old man to the hospital, the doctor immediately thinks of a heart transplant. That's the first thing that she suggests is transplanting a heart. It's unfair how the people of this community are unwinding children for body parts to store. They are killing children to store up hearts and other organs, they have a bank. They don't even need it, they're just storing it away just in case if they do need it. This society is corrupted and they don't realize it. Just because it's the law to unwind children, doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do. These people must go against what they are told, and question it and not just follow orders. It's their own blooded child that is being taken away and being taken apart for someone else to use. In our current society, there are shortages of donors and people do pay a lot for donors.

It is a way for parents to get rid of their responsibility and it's also a way to save other people's lives, people who are "more worthy" of living.
