| dc.description.abstract | This thesis is an examination of two ongoing civil cases regarding racial discrimination in kidney transplant waitlists. While these cases take place on opposite sides of the country, one in California and one in New York, they address the same issue. Both plaintiffs were men seeking kidney transplants and hoping to be put on the waitlist but have instead found themselves being discriminated against for being Black. Lawsuits have been filed against hospitals for violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, among other charges. It is the goal of this thesis to examine the validity of these claims and how the current kidney testing and waitlist process is disproportionately harming Black Americans. Various pieces of case law will be analyzed and applied to the cases at issue and additional relevant principles and guidelines will be reviewed. It is the contention of this author that both cases should be found in favor of the plaintiff, and there are sufficient facts and evidence to justify this ruling. | en_US |
