Definition/classification: Organ donors are subject to not get equal treatment when admitted into hospitals.

- Current State of the Research: I am just gathering my sources. It is kinda hard to find research that is on the same topic as my paper. I’m leaning towards making an appointment so I can get assistance with narrowing down my sources. Most of the articles that I have been finding are about the recipients of the organ donors and not the actual person donating the organs so it is a little difficult.

They’re about Perception of discrimination more than proof of discrimination, but that’s an important aspect of your paper.
thank you professor !
