Answer:The year is 1935. Hannah is a 21-year-old German who has been a nanny for the children of a Jewish family for two years now. The children love Hannah because she always tells them funny stories. One day, the children’s parents tell Hannah that she must not return to the house. They say a law called Nuremberg has been enacted. How does this law MOST likely apply to Hannah?

answer is :

Hannah must leave Germany immediately because she is no longer a citizen.

Answer:

According to the policies of the organ procurement organization (OPO) always the priority is given for those patients that are localized in the region where the OPO is located. However, there are exceptions to this norm such as urgent liver transplantations and exact kidney match.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are those institutions authorized by the Health Care Financing Administration for organ transplantation. The Health Care Financing Administration decides what is the regional OPO that has this task of procurement and assignment.
