This chapter investigates why the various matching and swapping arrangements are hard to implement, arguing it is difficult to schedule even one transplant in ways that are convenient for the donor and meet the needs of the recipient. The chapter analyses the difficulties of this complicated exchange, especially if there are two or more transplants. With such awareness, the chapter reviews the innovative program that was recently initiated at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center, which allows people to donate a kidney today in exchange for a voucher that a designated recipient can redeem for a kidney in the future if and when a kidney is needed. Even though the new and more complex elaboration of paired exchanges or vouchers increased the pool of people who can donate and increased the chances for people on transplant waiting lists to get an organ, the chapter explores how they begin to look more and more like markets. And, in most countries, markets in organs are illegal.

Background Questions about the etiology of disease can concern patients living with any chronic disease and may impact disease-related adjustment. These causal attributions may be of particular interest when individuals are living with diseases for which etiologies have not been definitively identified, such as scleroderma. This study qualitatively explored patient attributions of causality for scleroderma. Methods: Patients with confirmed diagnoses of scleroderma responded to an open-ended prompt. The cross-sectional sample of scleroderma patients ( N = 114) was recruited through registries maintained at the University of California, Los Angeles and University of California, San Diego Schools of Medicine and the Virginia Mason Medical Center. Content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data and group the responses via an inductively derived codebook using the text analysis tool Dedoose Version 4.5. Results: Patients provided a variety of possible causes for scleroderma, which grouped into seven themes: (1) stress, (2) environment, (3) genetics, (4) medical conditions or surgeries, (5) diet, (6) medications or substance use, and (7) spirituality. Conclusion: Patients’ causal attributions for scleroderma were varied, but many patients identified stress as a cause of scleroderma, often focusing on acute or chronic stressors that were present before disease onset. Identifying patient theories of causality for scleroderma can contribute to an increased understanding of disease-related behaviors and adjustment.

The California missions, whose original church spaces and visual programs were produced by Iberian, Mexican, and Native artisans between 1769 and 1823, occupy an ambiguous chronological, geographical, and political space. They occupy lands that have pertained to conflicting territorialities: from Native nations, to New Spain, to Mexico, to the modern multicultural California. The physical and visual landscapes of the missions have been sites of complex and often incongruous religious experiences; historical trauma and romantic vision; Indigenous genocide, exploitation, resistance, and survivance; state building and global enterprise. This Dialogues section brings together critical voices, including especially the voices of California Indian scholars, to interrogate received models for thinking about the art historical legacies of the California missions. Together, the contributing authors move beyond and across borders and promote new decolonial strategies that strive to be responsive to the experience of California Indian communities and nations. This conversation emerges from cross-disciplinary relationships established at a two-day conference, “‘American’ Art and the Legacy of Conquest: Art at California’s Missions in the Global 18th–20th Centuries,” sponsored by the Terra Foundation for American Art and held at the University of California, Los Angeles, in November 2019.
