If someone is dying of heart problems and has perfectly working kidneys, why wouldn’t the kidneys be viable? I’m sure there are other instances where certain organs would be reusable. I’m not surprised that Zero’s czar wants to do the same thing the ChiComs have been doing. It figures. And of course, it will only be the Zero supporters that get those needed transplants. And the donated organs will undoubtedly come from those of us that do NOT support Zero. Something ELSE to look forward to if we don’t act before it’s too late.

Anybody up for a rousing round of Kumbaya?

The problem is that all the organs interact, if one is out of whack the rest follow.

Those in the last stages of CHF or COPD have nothing that works properly. As do those dying of cancer etc.

And then there’s the age factor. The majority of say hospice patients are very elderly. That too figures into transplant viability. There is an age cut off.

Back in 1993, Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Casey was dying and needed both a heart and liver transplant. Conveniently, a man who was a tissue match was beaten to death, and the gov got the organs (moving to the head of the list on a technicality)
