Letter: In Brief
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Though one hardly applauds someone who donates his organs on condition they are given to a white patient (report, 7 July), presumably he is entitled to his views, however unacceptable we find them. When emotion is cleared away and we start thinking straight, it seems there are two alternatives: reject the donated organ or disregard the wishes of the dead man who offered it. I'm sure patients waiting for transplant organs will want to know exactly what instructions Frank Dobson has given his Permanent Secretary.
