Luis Fabregas covers organ transplantation in a city once known as the transplant capital of the world. The submitted stories include one about the controversial issue of organ transplants for foreign patients. More than 200 such patients receive transplants in the United States every year, raising questions among critics who say Americans citizens could be short-changed. In other stories, Fabregas writes about organ rejection, as in the case of a teen with cystic fibrosis who started rejecting her new lungs. In yet another story, Fabregas explains the motivation of live organ donors as well as the risks they undergo during organ procurement surgery. Fabregas also writes about other medical issues, as shown in a story about the debate over the definition of the word cancer.
