Thoughtful medical ethics drama

A medical ethics drama about a committee of doctors deciding which patients will get organ transplants.

A fascinating area for a movie plot, an exploration of how these decisions are made. It's made more dramatic by the involvement of a financial impact in this case, but a very thought provoking movie nonetheless.

Kelsey Grammer delivers a very credible performance.

Not an easy topic, and ultimately not a movie masterpiece but engaging and thoughtful and definitely worth a watch.

Very topical right now.

This intrigued me when I saw it on Netflix as it is very well timed. A transplant was done in Maryland with a genetically changed pigs heart into a man just on Jan 7th, 2022.

This is an interesting story of a hospital's committee that has to decide who has the right to an organ that is available. So many things makes their decisions not as easy as it should be ..... as in will a donation of 25 million by the father of a man who is obviously not worthy, over a man or woman who are only rich in their families love and support.

The story spans two timelines .... one of this timeline and many years after and what the result of the decision made.

Do these things happen in some of the decision making rooms, I honestly believe they do and biases are biases .... if the person drinks, smokes, got arrested for a petty crime decades ago .... and so it goes. Interesting story but not if you are looking for action, as most of it is done between 4 walls of the committee room.

Casting is Kelsey Grammar, Julia Stiles and Janeane Garofalo and for me the casting could have been better.

Very moving ... photos at beginning and end of real transplant teams and patients with some very moving music throughout.

Best wishes to David Bennett who was the recipient of said pigs heart. He was not deemed acceptable normally as he was guilty in past of stabbing a man. Since the surgery is still in the testing stage he accepted the surgery knowing he may not live long without it.

The God Committee

7/10 - genuinely interesting dive into the ethics and forces at play in the hospital that is only slightly derailed by a secondary plot that is pretty unnecessary for the most part.
