US Donor - alas, Italian 11 year old girl - HOAX.

EDIT: We have since learned that the report about a US and/or other non-willing donors for reasons relating to Giada's nationality was a hoax - and a sick one at that, given that this was about a terminally ill child. My heartfelt thanks to all participants for their wise, humane and compassionate responses - truly appreciated.

The last link may dispel some Italian stereotypes, Al Capone, spaghetti eaters, WOPs, and cowardly soldiers come to mind.

My question is this: Italian contributions to the USA notwithstanding, what is this world coming to?
