Topics in Health: Live Organ Donations - Youth Media Los Angeles Collaborative
How do the verb tense of the main "event" (the centers accepting donors) and the verb tense of human participant "attributes" (the donors having health conditions) relate? I take "Some centers have accepted donors" to mean that the centers in the past accepted such donors and in the relevant present accepts such donors. Should I take "donors have a health condition" to mean that donors accepted in the past had health conditions at the moment of acceptance, and that donors that are accepted in the relevant present have health conditions now?
To boost donation, however, some centers have accepted donors who have a health condition, such as high blood pressure, that would have ruled them out a few years ago.
