Week 20 of 22
DECEMBER 7 TO 10
Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.
The allocation question again, now with the actual matching criteria in front of us instead of in the abstract.

Somebody on these cards does not get one. That is the exercise.
The nephron in order: filtration, reabsorption, secretion. The kidney filters nearly everything out and deliberately takes most of it back, which is how it keeps such precise control.
Dialysis as an external substitute for filtration, then a matching simulation where you allocate organs under the real constraints.
Blood type, tissue type, and why the immune system attacks a transplant that is helping the person it belongs to. Immunosuppression is a permanent trade.
A CER defending an allocation decision from the simulation, using the compatibility data.
