Stories like this are so hard. Someone dies. Others are able to get their organs, and keep on living. STILL, someone dies, leaving their families to grieve their loss. Medical advances are saving more lives. Still, someone dies.
My brother died in a tragic auto accident back in 2001. After a week in a coma, they pulled the plug and his organs were harvested.
His heart was donated to a 50 year old + individual whose life was saved in the interim and I have a copy of his thank you letter to our family.
Unfortunately, due to confidentially laws, I've never been able to indentify him and inquire on how he is doing today...........Hope he is still alive.
