Three III’s
Convict Ben, (34) reads in his daily paper (September 2013) the plea of a young single mother, Grace, also (34) needing a kidney transplant to save her life. Due for release, he likes the idea starting his new life as an altruistic donor.
Grace finds out that Ben is a perfect match for a kidney via the newspaper and introduces them. They instantly hit it off, forming a bond despite Grace’s family warning her of his past, but she’s only interested in the future.
Ben is handsome and Grace’s friends tease her saying they should be together. However, he is married and for her it’s immoral, plus she’s just started a new relationship with Pete who she met online.
March 2014 – (six months later) the operation is a success,

Grace decides she is healthy and wants to share her life with someone who deserves her and bravely goes back to online dating.
Meanwhile, Grace keeps an online blog/diary of her rollercoaster experiences of searching for love online. After some excruciating dates, Grace begins to wonder whether Plato’s idea of ‘the one’ exists but on the upside, her relationship with Beth is more established and a happy one.
Tinder, Match.com, even eHarmony offers many singles but no one appeals. Then a man on Tinder called Ben catches her eye. Ben? Oh my goodness, it’s Ben, her kidney donor! She swipes right as had he, but he had also ‘Super Liked’ her. They got back in touch hitting it off and talked about all the crappy things that had gone on in the past 15 months; including Ben’s divorce.
Admittedly, he tells her on their date that he just wants a shag. Ethics are mentioned to which she declines gracefully but they remain close and both are apologetic to how their partners were with each other.
That night she re-invents her dating profile. Within minutes of making a cup of tea, she receives a new message: A guy who goes by the name, MJD85. They’re a hit! Yet from all the recent, horrific dates Grace vowed to not meet a younger guy again. – MJD85 aka Matt, who’s six years younger turns out to be the son of the friend Grace nearly added as a friend whilst heading on holiday with Pete and whose Christmas photos she was lustily looking
Grace Blakely is the main character of All Fall Down. She is very daring and stubborn and she has been through a lot for a girl her age. Her brother and father are both in the military and she is now living with her grandfather in Adria. Grace was thirteen when she watched her mother die in a fire and while everybody says it was an accident, Grace knows it was not. She knows her mother was murdered and she watched it happen with her own two eyes. Everyone except for Noah at the moment, believes Grace is crazy and she was just seeing things because of all the smoke or not wanting to remember the very tragic accident as just that, an accident. Grace has always been daring and that gives her a quality many people look for in a friendship.
Faced with a loved one’s organ failure and in need of an organ donor to survive, are we concerned with the organs origin? As of July 2017, according to the Human Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), there are 117,000 people on the organ waiting list (over 82% of those require a kidney), and an average of 22 people die each day waiting for organs (HRSA, 2017). Comparatively, the amount of prisoners executed in the United States each year is relatively small, yet one organ donor can save as many as eight lives and a cadaver can be used numerous ways in research (HRSA, 2017). Additionally, prisoners can be considered as live organ donors, especially when volunteering a kidney. Allowing inmate organ donations seems simple, yet it is shrouded with moral, ethical, and possible legal concerns. Arguments favoring or opposing incarcerated donors include the prisoner’s health, vulnerabilities, retribution, deterrence, and any form of compensation by reducing sentencing or stays of execution. The ethical aspect of medical staffs and courts involved in inmate executions and the removal of organs leads to heated discussions. Remarkably, there are no federal laws concerning inmate organ donors, and only Utah enacted state laws on the issue. Subsequently, other than Utah, any prisoner’s request to take part in organ donation is decided by prison officials or the governor where the inmate is confined. As the need for organs continues to outpace

Even healthy prisoners are usually unaware that all they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle is a single kidney, and feel that they could lead a normal life by only what they were born with-two kidneys. This is a fallacy, in that they can lead a normal and healthy adult life with only one kidney. In 2001, convicted murderer Christian Longo was sentenced to death row for the murders of his wife and three children. Since that fateful day and sentence, he has tried to find ways to become a useful member of society. Longo believes that by donating his useful human organs and/or tissue, as a living donor before his execution, that he, “…could clear nearly 1 percent” (Longo, 2011) of his home state of Oregon’s human organ transplant waiting list. Prisoners, many of whom are sentenced to either life in prison or death row have opted to donate their vital organs and/or tissue to the donor transplant list before either execution or after they die in prison. One of the positive drawing points for harvesting a kidney from a healthy patient and/or prisoner is, “You will likely be able to return to work 2-3 weeks after the surgery, depending on the type of work. However some donors require a longer recovery period if their work requires heavy lifting or other physical demands” (UM Medical Center,

It’s apparent that Tom seem to be at odds with grace is decision. In the scene where grace goes in front of the school board is a very uplifting and inspirational. The school board tells Grace that they can make it all go away if she agrees to having a disciplinary letter in her file, say apologizes, and never speaks of Jesus in her class again. Graces attorney Tom starts to say that they will agree, but that is when Grace says no and walks. Tom then asks for a recess and explains to Grace that accepting this offer will be in her best interest and she states no that “I’d rather stand with God and be judge by the world, then stand with the world and be judge by God.” This scene I really love. Not only does it leave you in suspense but it also shows much courage, hope, and faith Grace
