Organ Transplants
Have you heard about the 3 poeple that received organ transplants in Italy. The organs where mislabled as being good, but as it turns out, the donor was HIV positive. Now that sucks..

Re: Organ Transplants
I would agree with both of you. Here these people and their families had their hopes up for a brighter future, only to be crushed by someones mistake.

Re: Organ Transplants
I wonder if any charges will be filed against the department/agency or the employee responsible for this mistake?
Maybe just accepting what a label says shouldn't be enough for the surgeon and staff to accept, and a second screening should be done before the surgery?

Re: Organ Transplants
I have indicated on my drivers license that in the event of my demise, I wish to have my organs available for donation for transplant to any person in need of them. I hadn't thought of any potential issues pertaining to disease. I assumed that a doctor would make a final determination as to the health and transplantability of my organs. I will be out of my misery so I probably won't care what happens at that point. I only wish when the time comes for me to be parted out, I will not pass on anything other than a healthy organ that some needy soul can accept and then, for that person to live on and to have a happy, healthy life.

Some of those screening take so much time that it would render the organs useless.
FYI

Re: Organ Transplants
As the bumber sticker says.
"Don't take your organs to heaven - God knows we need them here"
Not really a sacrifice - but such a gift!
PS. Don't forget to let your family know so they can be supportive when the physician asks.
